The red lips of a 4-year-old baby cannot be identified as lung or stomach heat.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is open to the mouth, and the spleen and stomach are mutually exclusive. As the spleen and stomach for the source of qi and blood biochemistry, lips and lips can reflect the whole body qi and blood operation is normal. So 4-year-old baby red lips, if there is no other accompanying symptoms, mental state is relatively good, is neither lung heat nor stomach heat, should be a healthy state.
4-year-old baby red lips with cough, shortness of breath, elevated body temperature, irritability most of the lung heat. Because of the lung heat within the fullness of the lung Qi shall not decline, the lung Qi upward will appear cough, asthma, internal heat is full so the body temperature rises, irritability.
4-year-old baby red lips with stomach pain, vomiting, gums swelling or bleeding most of the stomach heat. Stomach heat and stagnation of qi and blood cause stomach pain, and stomach qi upward (stomach qi rises instead of falls), so vomiting. Gums are passed through the stomach meridian, so stomach heat may cause swollen, painful or bleeding gums.
Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether Lung Heat or Stomach Heat is present simply from the redness of the lips, but must be combined with the accompanying symptoms in order to confirm the diagnosis, and it is recommended that treatment be carried out under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner.
