Autumn is here, and what children need is not water, but body fluids!

Autumn has arrived, and while the weather is getting cooler, dryness is also setting in! 🍂

Did you know? Children lack not just water, but body fluids! Water is simply a liquid, whereas body fluids refer to all the normal liquids required by the body, including blood, gastric juice, intestinal fluid, etc.

When body fluids are insufficient, children may experience symptoms such as a dry mouth and throat, dry skin, and constipation. So, how can we replenish body fluids?

1️⃣ Dry mouth and throat, cracked lips, dry cough
2️⃣ Constant thirst, dry throat, drinking water does not quench thirst
3️⃣ Dry and itchy nostrils, nosebleeds, irritability
4️⃣ Dry and itchy eyes
5️⃣ Tight facial skin, dry and flaky skin
6️⃣ Dry, brittle, and dull hair
7️⃣ Hard and difficult-to-pass stools, dark in color
8️⃣ Bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, yellow urine, frequent and smelly flatulence
9️⃣ Restless sleep, night sweats, cold hands and feet, teeth grinding
🔟 Hot palms and soles, excessive sweating

Er Fan Ma shared 16 dietary therapy methods, including egg tea, rice soup, and apple water, to help replenish body fluids. Additionally, avoiding excessive sweating and fatigue, and ensuring adequate sleep, can aid in the recovery and regulation of body fluid metabolism.

If your child's symptoms of insufficient body fluids are severe, it is recommended to consult a doctor and follow their guidance for treatment.
