What causes a child's thick tongue coating?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, many people have greatly increased their food consumption, but this has led to many problems.

The thicker the tongue coating, the more serious the disease and the more severe the condition. However, the formation of tongue coating reflects the presence or absence of stomach qi.

There is irregular peeling of the tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, and the peeling area is smooth and without coating, which is called flowery peeling coating. It is mostly caused by insufficient qi and yin of the stomach. If there is also greasy coating, it means that phlegm and dampness have not been transformed and the vital energy has been damaged.
