Question
How should a 2-year-old boy be treated if he exhibits swelling on his unilateral hand, face, and arm?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, this may be a case of swelling, primarily caused by wind and dampness. Treatment should focus on dispersing wind, clearing heat, and promoting lung and water circulation. The modified Yu Pi Ji Shu decoction can be used for treatment. Additionally, if diagnosed with pediatric kidney disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, pay attention to gastrointestinal decompression, maintain good hygiene habits, and also be mindful of the child’s diet, avoiding irritating and cold foods.
