Treating children with excessive liver fire and deficiency-cold in the spleen and stomach through dietary therapy. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as chicken, which may exacerbate liver fire and worsen the condition. Instead, incorporate more food ingredients that help clear liver heat, soothe the liver, and reduce internal heat, such as celery, daylily flowers (golden needles), bean sprouts, and wolfberry leaves. Additionally, minimize the use of seasonings such as chili, oil, and salt when preparing these foods.
