Question
The child has been crying frequently since he was four and a half years old. He never used to be like this. Now that he’s in elementary school, he cries multiple times a day, often over trivial matters, with crying spells lasting a few minutes. It’s heartbreaking, and he also wets the bed almost every night. The urine amount isn’t much, but his underwear is always wet in the morning. Is there something wrong with this child?
Answer
The child’s condition, with his underwear always wet in the morning, may be related to Yang deficiency from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective. It’s difficult to determine what the problem is with him crying multiple times a day, and it should be carefully inquired about. Treatment can involve herbal medicine, with options like the Decoction of Licorice, Dried Ginger, and Poria combined with the Decoction of Guizhi Added with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell.
