Question
A 21-month-old child frequently feels tired and is prone to falling asleep. Parents are asking whether this situation is normal and how to deal with it. The child does not have a fever and shows no other obvious symptoms of illness.
Answer
Drowsiness is a neurological disorder that can cause irresistible episodes of sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, this condition may be classified as kidney yang deficiency, which can be treated with medications like Yougui Wan or Quanlu Wan. It is recommended that parents consult a pediatrician for more accurate diagnoses and treatment advice. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s daily routine to ensure they have enough sleep time and good sleep quality.
