Kidney qi insufficiency in Chinese medicine is called kidney qi deficiency, and children with kidney qi deficiency often have stunted growth, polyuria or enuresis, pale tongue with white moss, and weak pulse, etc. The specific manifestations may be different for different children.
Chinese medicine believes that kidney qi is transformed by kidney essence, which has the function of promoting and regulating human growth and development, fluid metabolism, reproduction, respiration and other functions.
Children with insufficient innate endowment (congenital constitution and poor functioning), malnutrition before and after birth, premature birth, or indiscriminate use of drugs to injure the root, may cause kidney qi deficiency, resulting in five soft (refers to the head and neck soft, soft mouth, soft hands, soft feet, soft muscles), five late (refers to the late standing, walking, speech, hair, teeth), slow growth or easy to fall out of teeth and other stunted growth and development performance.
Children with kidney qi deficiency may also affect their intellectual development, resulting in poor receptivity and slow response, etc. This type of child may also have frequent urination, increased nocturia, weakness of the limbs, lack of luster, pale tongue with white moss, and weak pulse, etc. Due to individual differences, the specific manifestations may vary.
In order to avoid serious long-term effects on the child’s development, once the child is found to have symptoms of kidney qi deficiency, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for treatment.
