The regulation methods for children with excessive liver fire mainly include the following: 1. Dietary adjustment: Encourage children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as celery, pears, apples, etc., reduce the intake of meat, fried and spicy foods, and avoid carbonated beverages. Maintaining a bland diet helps alleviate symptoms of excessive liver fire. 3. Increase water intake: Ensuring adequate hydration for children helps eliminate toxins and internal heat from the body and improves liver function. 4. Regular作息: Ensure children have sufficient sleep and avoid overexertion to promote adequate rest for the liver. 5. Emotional regulation: Pay attention to children's emotional changes, avoid excessive stress or negative emotions, and maintain a happy mood. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for professional treatment.
