What are the symptoms and dangers of babies getting angry?

Babies have a different physique from adults. They have an active metabolism and grow and develop rapidly. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this a "pure yang body." Under normal conditions, a dynamic balance is maintained. Once this balance is broken by external factors, it can easily lead to internal heat. So what are the symptoms of a baby getting angry?

1. Dry stool

[Symptoms]: Since the baby's digestive system is not fully developed, when the calcium intake exceeds the recommended amount, it will combine with the phosphorus and casein in dairy products to form food accumulation and cause the baby to get angry. Symptoms of dry stools appear, the stool is hard and small in quantity, and is in the shape of chestnuts. The baby will have a bowel movement every 3 to 5 days. The defecation process is prolonged or difficult, and the baby cries and makes a fuss due to pain in the anus caused by irritation from dry feces.

[Harm]: Babies with constipation feel pain when defecating, so they often delay defecation as much as possible, causing the stool to become drier, forming a vicious cycle. In addition, constipation causes the remaining food in the baby's body to not be excreted through feces in time, which will produce toxins in the gastrointestinal tract over time and form harmful substances. Harmful substances can reduce immunity and make the human body vulnerable to external viruses. Long-term difficulty in defecation will cause psychological resistance to defecation in the future, forming a habit of not having a bowel movement and leading to habitual constipation in the future.

2. Yellow urine

[Symptoms]: Observe the baby's urine. If you find that the color is yellower than usual and the amount is smaller, this symptom indicates that the baby is getting hot. This is also a manifestation of lack of water in the body in the urine, and measures need to be taken to regulate it.

[Harm]: Due to the accumulation of heat in the body, water evaporates during sweating, urination, skin and breathing, resulting in a large amount of water loss, which is also the reason for dry and hard stools. Long-term short and yellow urine means that the baby's body is often dehydrated, and normal physiological activities and physical development will inevitably be affected.

3. Mouth ulcers

[Symptoms] Mouth and tongue ulcers caused by internal heat in the body. Due to the pain and other discomfort, children who cannot speak often refuse to eat, become irritable, cry restlessly, and even refuse to drink water. Some babies will touch their mouths with their hands from time to time. If the above symptoms occur, you need to check whether the baby's oral mucosa and tongue have sores or ulcers.

[Harm]: Mouth ulcers cause children to refuse to eat, become irritable, and even unwilling to drink water. , resulting in insufficient normal nutrition supply for the baby and affecting physical development. In addition, if you don't pay attention to symptoms such as mouth ulcers, it can easily lead to angular cheilitis, commonly known as "sore mouth corners".

4. Poor sleep

[Symptoms]: Babies often become irritable, restless, cry, wake up easily, turn over and over, and sometimes grind their teeth when sleeping. If the baby has no other symptoms or physical discomfort, it is possible that the sleep disorder is caused by the imbalance of the body caused by getting angry.

[Harm]: Poor sleep leads to a disordered daily routine, and makes the baby prone to anger, mental irritability, impatience, mood swings, etc. These can easily cause deviations in the child's physiological functions and further aggravate the problem of getting angry. This will eventually lead to serious consequences such as poor development, decreased resistance, viral attacks, colds and fevers, which will affect the baby's normal physical and mental development.

5. Increased eye mucus

[Symptoms]: Some babies will experience increased eye secretions, especially in the morning when they wake up, there will be eye mucus in the corners of the eyes, and if there is too much, it will stick to the eyelids. After ruling out the possibility that these impurities in the eyes are due to normal vernix caseosa secretion or other pathological changes, it can be preliminarily determined that the baby is suffering from internal heat.

[Hazards]: Excessive eye secretions (eye mucus) and not being cleaned properly can easily lead to bacterial invasion, one of the situations being the development of styes. Stye, commonly known as sty, is an acute suppurative inflammation of the sebaceous glands or meibomian glands near the eyelash follicles. It is a common eye disease in babies. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that this is caused by exogenous wind-heat toxicity, excessive consumption of spicy food, accumulation of heat and toxicity in the spleen and stomach, and the upward movement of heat and toxicity.

Six: Breath

[Symptoms]: Bad breath is not an independent disease, but a warning signal sent by the body. If your baby exhales a bad odor, it means that the child may be suffering from a sore throat. For the problem of baby's bad breath, it is time to identify and eliminate the cause and take effective measures.

[Harm]: Bad breath often indicates gastrointestinal dysfunction in babies. The body's "stomach fire" is generally related to food accumulation due to improper feeding. Bad breath will affect your daily life experience, and when stomach fire is severe, problems such as dry stools will occur simultaneously, forming a vicious cycle of getting angry.
