Any good TCM doctor for treating children with fever?

Hi,

I have a 5 yr old child who has fever very very often; too often that I find that it is not normal. Looking for a good TCM doctor with reasonable rates. I'm living around Hougang area. Preferably, a doctor that is near my home area like AMK/Sengkang/Hougang.

Any good TCM doctor to recommend?
 


Children, at some stage of their lives could get fever very often - once or twice a month, each lasting up to 10-days. When I lived overseas, this was what happened to my daughter, and the doctor was empathetic but assured us that it was normal, unless the fever is too high, or accompanied by rashes (meningitis suspect), or wheezing (bronchitis), or nothing at all (bacterial infection like UTI).

If you have moved, changed new childcare etc, that could also happen more often. Exercise, good diet, and rest, would ensure the body at a more optimum condition and help fight off the fevers. Some people are more prone to fevers due to the way their body fight off the infections.

Also, you should have a fever chart - note the dates that he has fever, the temperature, and the accompanying symptoms. Also note how it was treated. In some cases, some bacterial infection (like UTI) could be masked and not treated fully, so it keeps coming back. Each course of antibiotics kills some bacteria, but not all.

TCM will help to "tiao" the body to optimum condition. improve appetite, sleeping, etc. Let the body heal itself and enable it to fight off infection. However, TCM medication doesn't come in sweet syrup...
 
I know a good TCM @ Yishun, (160 Yishun Street 11), Tao Chi Therapy Foot Reflexology & Wellness. But not too sure if he's experienced with kids though! Could try I guess :)
 
Thanks for letting me know. I've just brought him to Hougang Ave. 8 TCM and he has recovered fever within 2 days!!! Just hope that his fever won't reoccur again as last time he tends to hv fever once every 2 weeks.
 
If you really think it is not normal, my suggestion is to have a thorough specialist check out rather than TCM.
 
According to PD, might be due to tonsillitis, but I rather not choose a surgery to remove that just to make him recover. I hope TCM will help.
Let Tcm dr check whether your child's body belong to the heaty or liang type. From there you can work with Tcm doc how to Tiao his body. Tcm doc give med & mummy in long run cook food to Tiao.
