Question
What’s causing my 7-month-old baby’s hot palms and soles?
Answer
Hand and foot heat in infants is commonly due to malnutrition and spleen deficiency. The reasons include improper diet, such as overeating or irregular meal times, which can damage Spleen and stomach function over time, leading to abnormal digestion and the formation of accumulations. Prolonged accumulations result in the inability to absorb the essence of food and grains, leading to malnutrition and fever.
