Is a 15-year-old girl's tearing during sleep due to excessive liver fire?

A 15-year-old girl crying during sleep is not necessarily due to excessive liver fire. This condition may have various causes, such as eye fatigue, allergic reactions, dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, or other eye disorders, as well as problems with the tear duct system. Diagnosing excessive liver fire typically requires considering additional symptoms, such as dry mouth, bitter taste, irritability, anger, and headaches. Simply tearing up during sleep cannot be directly attributed to excessive liver fire. Parents are advised to first take the child to an ophthalmologist to rule out possible eye diseases. If no abnormalities are found in the eye examination, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation may be considered, but only under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner. Meanwhile, parents should pay attention to the child's emotional state and avoid excessive stress that could lead to liver qi stagnation. Maintaining regular sleep patterns and a balanced diet can also help improve eye-related issues.
