Question
What symptoms might a seven-month-old baby with spleen deficiency experience?
Answer
If a baby is prone to spleen deficiency, traditional Chinese medicine advocates for active root treatment, which involves strengthening the spleen and stomach, and supplementing the body to reduce or avoid recurrent respiratory infections. Common treatment methods include strengthening the spleen and stomach, reinforcing the body’s constitution, and nourishing Qi and Yin. Babies with spleen deficiency may exhibit symptoms such as eczema, impetigo, stomatitis, jaundice, moist hands and feet. Additionally, they may also experience constipation, diarrhea, excessive phlegm, and coughing.
