Question
What should I do if my two-year-old baby has been running a fever with halitosis these days?
Answer
Your situation may be caused by excessive stomach fire, which is known as “stomach heat” in traditional Chinese medicine. Stomach heat is a manifestation of internal organ Qi and blood imbalance and is not a severe illness. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the concept of “fire” to describe certain hot symptoms in the body. It is recommended to use Qingwei San for treatment. According to your described symptoms, the main issue is lung Qi deficiency, leading to spontaneous sweating. Treatment should focus on replenishing lung Qi, consolidating Yin, and stopping sweating. You can take Yuping Feng San granules for treatment.
