Is a Child’s Dazed and Slow Response a Sign of Facial Paralysis?

Question

Is a child’s dazed and slow response a sign of facial paralysis?

Answer

A child’s frequent dazed and slow response may be a manifestation of spleen deficiency. The spleen is responsible for transforming and transporting dampness, and it is also the source of Qi and blood generation. When the spleen is deficient, dampness does not transform properly, leading to excessive drooling. Additionally, spleen deficiency can result in poor attention span and memory.
