Qi deficiency in a seven-year-old boy will be followed by weakness, shortness of breath, palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), poor appetite, emaciation, poor complexion, enuresis and other manifestations, which may be related to insufficient endowment (congenital constitution and functioning is not good), dietary disorders, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the depletion of qi by major illnesses, and so on.
1. Insufficient endowment means that the child is immature due to premature birth or other factors, and the constitution itself is weaker than other children, and there is such a condition as insufficient kidney qi.
2. Due to long-term dietary disorders, such as picky eating, anorexia, oesophagia (food indigestion and accumulation in the stomach), etc., the spleen and stomach are damaged, and the spleen and stomach cannot generate qi and blood to supply the blocked organs in the whole body, and there will also be qi deficiency.
3. If a child’s illness depletes the body’s vital energy and it does not return within a short period of time, there will also be a temporary deficiency of vital energy.
Parents should take their children to regular hospitals for professional consultation and treatment when any of the above discomforts occur.
