Question
My child is 7 years old, and their feet are often cold. What could be the cause?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, this could be due to anemia, or it might be yang deficiency. However, the likelihood of yang deficiency in children is relatively low. Guidance: It’s advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up to see if they have anemia. If they do, they will need to receive active blood-building treatments. If not, consider a traditional Chinese medicine check-up for yang deficiency. You can then eat some foods that tonify yang, such as pork kidney, dog meat, lamb, and chives. Medications like Guifu Dihuang Wan can also be considered.
