Morning ICEAMers. Any help is much appreciated. A 6 month baby with excess: a red and very itchy rash with dry skin, especially on Yang Ming-St, LI areas of face arms and legs. The yin surfaces are not as bad. Child is very vexed and difficult to settle. Recent cough, runny nose and chest a bit rattly. BM can be funny or dry, but can go 2-3 days no BM.Breastfed predominantly, but starting sweet potato and pumpkin. Mom has been sick all winter with chesty colds and has had 3-4 courses of antibiotics… mums pulse (L) cun soft, guan superficial thin wiry (R) guan big and wiry. My thought is treat Mum and predominantly breastfeed….. kid still doesn’t have teeth. Mum’s pulse seem like a ChGzGjTang… gave Mum that, and after two doses, the kid was really agitated, and didn’t have a bowel movement. It’s now very hot weather here, so I thought the GJ is maybe too drying …Thinking to make up a ChGzGj Tāng, but change GJ to PJ as baby BMs are sluggish…. maybe the original formula with GJ made the bowels drier? Of course would have been great if Mum’s pulse was GCXXT…. but it wasn’t …can I give this to a 6 month old with the skin mod herbs? If Mum is on herbs also baby gets double? Or …Can I put Mum on the CHGZPJTang and just give the skin mods to baby?Any ideas much appreciated
