What is the reason for a child's thick white tongue coating?

Summer is a season when it is easy to get angry. In this season, many children are prone to getting angry because of their poor immunity and dietary problems. Children's tongue coating is thick and tongue sores are very common. Faced with this series of problems, many parents are worried and anxious about how to solve these problems for their children. What is the matter with children's thick and white tongue coating?

As summer approaches, the hot weather not only makes adults suffer from heatiness, but some children also join the ranks of suffering from heatiness, with symptoms such as mouth ulcers, swollen gums and throat, respiratory tract infections, dry stools, etc.

Chen Yonghui, chief physician at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, said that the causes of the most common diseases in children are relatively simple. For example, it is common for children to get angry in the summer. In addition to the hot external environment, it is more caused by improper diet. If you want your children to get sick less often, Chinese medicine has an ancient saying that "If you want your children to be safe, they need to be three parts hungry and cold."

"Children don't know whether they are cold or warm, hungry or full. They all rely on adults' observation. The key to a child's health lies in whether the parents are attentive, careful and patient."

"However, parents do not need to worry too much about their children's illnesses. If the illness is caused by physical problems such as frequent internal heat, taking some Chinese medicine for conditioning can achieve good results."

If a child always gets angry, it means there is something wrong with his constitution.

Chen Yonghui pointed out that the symptoms of children getting "internal heat" vary, including ulcers in the mouth and tongue, swollen gums and throat, respiratory tract infections, dry stools, and even chalazions, which are common among children, are all caused by "internal heat".

"For example, in the outpatient clinic, I often see some children who have 2-3 surgeries in one or two months, but the disease recurs a few days after the surgery. In fact, the chalazion is caused by the child's physical constitution." Chen Yonghui said, "If the chalazion is discovered early, or if the chalazion recurs, the problem can be solved through pure Chinese medicine treatment."

The most common diseases in children are respiratory and digestive system diseases. One type is nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, cough, irritability, dry stool, yellow urine, etc. caused by internal heat and cold; the other type is sallow complexion, thin muscles, loss of appetite, restless sleep, vomiting and diarrhea, etc. caused by eating disorders and damage to the spleen and stomach. These diseases are basically caused by getting angry or disharmony between the spleen and stomach, so Chinese medicine has great advantages in the treatment of common pediatric diseases.

Most children have thick white tongue coating because they do not pay attention to their diet. For example, they often have internal heat in the body, yellow urine, and eating too spicy food. Deliberate stimulation can cause the tongue to turn white. We should pay attention to protecting children's oral health, brush their teeth more often and give them more water to prevent them from getting internal heat in the summer.
