Question
My child is 7 years old, has a weak constitution, and sweats a lot during physical activities. If their clothes get wet and are not dried promptly, they easily catch a cold. After catching a cold, they keep coughing and it’s hard to get better. We’ve had them checked at the hospital many times, but all tests come back normal. The doctor says it’s tonsillitis that flares up with colds. How can the doctor solve the child’s excessive sweating and strengthen their constitution? Is tonsillitis hard to treat?
Answer
Hello, according to traditional Chinese medicine theory, excessive sweating should be due to qi deficiency, which makes them prone to catching colds. You can increase nutrition, ensure adequate rest, and engage in moderate physical exercise to strengthen their constitution. You can apply Yu Ping Feng San to supplement qi and consolidate the exterior. Under the doctor’s guidance, take specific treatment measures. There are many causes of pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression (cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression), and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and avoid irritating or cold foods.
