Question 1

Every time my child goes to daycare, they constantly have colds (daycare syndrome).

Accepted Answer

It is natural when children with underdeveloped immunity are crowded in a small space. The goal is not "not getting sick" but "getting through it lightly." Build foundational immunity to strengthen the ability to overcome illness.

Question 2

My child has severe dust mite allergies — how do I manage them?

Accepted Answer

Bedding management is key. Mites feed on human skin flakes. Frequently sun-dry and beat the bedding. Using allergy-proof (microfiber) bedding is also an option.

Question 3

My child suddenly has a very high fever. Should we go to the emergency room?

Accepted Answer

If the temperature is below 38.5°C and the child is playing and eating well, give antipyretics and monitor. However, if a high fever above 39°C persists, the child becomes lethargic, or has convulsions, go to the emergency room immediately.

Question 4

Is it okay to give antibiotics for a long time?

Accepted Answer

They are necessary for bacterial infections (otitis media, pneumonia), but have no effect on simple viral colds. Long-term use can cause diarrhea, loss of appetite, and antibiotic resistance — use them minimally.

Question 5

My child sleeps with their mouth open (rhinitis/mouth breathing).

Accepted Answer

It is because of nasal congestion. Poor sleep leads to insufficient growth hormone, elongated facial shape (adenoid face), and decreased concentration due to brain oxygen deficiency. The sooner rhinitis is treated, the better.

Question 6

Is childhood asthma lifelong?

Accepted Answer

Fortunately, 50 to 60% of childhood asthma naturally disappears as the lungs grow through puberty. However, poor management can lead to adult asthma or permanently reduced lung function.

Question 7

My child wakes up with nosebleed stains on their pillow.

Accepted Answer

90% of children's nosebleeds are caused by nose picking. Because of rhinitis, the nose itches and crusts form, drawing constant attention. Treating rhinitis and moisturizing the nasal mucosa is the solution.

Question 8

My child has hand, foot and mouth disease and cannot eat — they seem exhausted.

Accepted Answer

Not being able to eat due to oral blister pain is the main problem. Cold foods (ice cream, cooled porridge) reduce pain perception, so feed them something. Preventing dehydration is enough — natural healing occurs within a week.

Question 9

Every time my child catches a cold, it progresses to pneumonia and they need hospitalization.

Accepted Answer

The respiratory defense line is completely compromised. The bronchial mucosa is weakened, failing to block viruses at the first line, allowing them to penetrate deep into the lungs. Respiratory tonic herbs need to strengthen the shield.

Question 10

My child sweats so much during sleep that the pillow gets completely wet (night sweats).

Accepted Answer

Children naturally have higher body temperature and immature sweat gland regulation than adults. Sweating for about 1 hour after falling asleep is normal, but if sweating all night or catching colds after cooling down, treatment for Qi deficiency or Yin deficiency is needed.
