Purple tongue in newborn

In traditional Chinese medicine, observing the color and shape of the tongue is an important criterion for judging a person's physical health. Therefore, we often hear about the tongue coating being purple, the tongue coating being yellow, or the tongue coating being too thick. If a newborn baby has symptoms of purple tongue coating, it is most likely due to excessive stomach fire. Excessive stomach fire is actually a way of saying "getting angry". This is related to the child's food and digestive system, and some measures to reduce fire are needed.

If a baby's tongue turns purple and he likes to stick out his tongue, it is very likely caused by excessive stomach fire. This situation can easily cause the child to have symptoms of getting angry, and may also cause the child to lose appetite and become listless. If we do not take timely measures to treat the situation, the situation will further worsen and may even seriously affect the child's digestive system, causing the child to become malnourished, so we must pay enough attention to it. After discovering that the baby has this condition, we should take the baby to a pediatrician in time and take appropriate measures for treatment under the doctor's guidance to control the development of the disease as soon as possible.

After a comprehensive examination, if it is determined that the baby's purple tongue and sticking out tongue are caused by excessive stomach fire, then we can only take some heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicines for conditioning, such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, coptis, etc. Usually we should feed children more water, and we can also give them some digestive medicines appropriately, such as intestinal probiotics, Livzondele, etc., which are very helpful in promoting children's absorption of nutrients. In addition, mothers should also pay attention to adjusting their diet structure and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This can effectively increase the vitamin content in breast milk, which is also very helpful for controlling the disease.

In short, we must not be careless about the symptoms of babies' purple tongues and sticking out tongues, because this situation is most likely caused by excessive stomach fire. If we delay the treatment of the disease, it can easily cause problems with the gastrointestinal system. Therefore, after discovering that the child has this symptom, we should take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for treatment in time, and take heat-clearing and fire-removing medicines as soon as possible to control the development of the disease as soon as possible.
