Dr. Ding Yu
Children with spleen deficiency and excessive dampness may experience symptoms such as a thick, white tongue coating, persistent diarrhea, limb weakness, drowsiness, and poor digestive function. They can be treated with Shen Ling Bai Zhu San. Causes of spleen deficiency and excessive dampness in children include excessive environmental humidity and impaired digestive function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, in addition to administering dampness-resolving medications, parents should also maintain a warm and dry indoor environment, adjust their child's diet by favoring light and easily digestible foods, and avoid greasy foods that place extra strain on the spleen and stomach. Additionally, moderate exercise can help alleviate symptoms of spleen deficiency and excessive dampness.
