Question
What are the causes of pediatric spleen deficiency?
Answer
Pediatric spleen deficiency may be caused by constitutional factors or heart-spleen heat. Excessive drooling might be a sign of spleen deficiency, but mere drooling can sometimes just be a habitual behavior of infants learning new movements. In any case, medication is generally not required. Improvement can be considered by undergoing pediatric massage therapy and reducing the intake of fried foods to lighten the digestive burden.
