Dry stools in children may be caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, but it may also be caused by solid heat or internal heat due to Yin deficiency. For example, solid heat refers to the symptoms of internal heat that occurs when the positive qi has not been injured due to excessive evil heat. If a child belongs to the type of solid heat, he or she will not only have the symptom of dry stools, but also be accompanied by abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and symptoms such as bitter breath and bad breath.
1. Weakness of the spleen and stomach: the spleen and stomach are damaged due to unclean diet, improper feeding and other external causes, which manifests itself in symptoms such as difficulty in defecation, poor appetite, dry stools, and lack of energy and laziness (lack of strength, not wanting to talk).
2. Yin deficiency and internal heat: It is a deficiency heat disorder caused by the deficiency of Yin in the body and the failure of water to control fire. If it is the Yin deficiency and internal heat type, it is manifested as sheep dung-like stools, accompanied by symptoms such as emaciation and irritability.
When children have dry stools, parents should take their children to regular hospitals in a timely manner to clarify the cause of the disease and give targeted treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
