Question
The child has been acting up and crying non-stop lately, and nothing seems to work. We’ve even taken them to the hospital, but it hasn’t helped. How should we deal with a 4-year-old’s fire syndrome?
Answer
You can give the child some mung bean soup or congee, as mung beans are cool and sweet in nature, which can clear heat, detoxify, and soothe irritability and restlessness in children with bad tempers and restless minds. Increasing fruit intake, such as grapefruit, can also help improve the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, it’s advisable to take the child to the hospital for a check-up and seek professional medical help.
