Why does my child's tongue hurt?

Traditional Chinese medicine can observe a person's health and some physical diseases through the tongue. Therefore, we should pay more attention to some abnormalities of our tongue, especially the tongue of children. Mothers should observe more. Some parents say that their children's tongue hurts and they don't know what's wrong. This makes them very worried. Now we will explain to you the reasons why children's tongue hurts.

Judgment: If the tongue or the edge of the tongue turns red, this is a symptom of getting angry, which means the baby has heart fire! Babies with heart fire are usually very thirsty during the day, toss and turn at night, and cannot sleep well.

What to do: There are still many foods that can remove heart heat. For example, in summer, you can buy fresh lotus seeds, peel them and feed them directly to your children. In addition, wild rice stem and eggplant can also be used. It is best to stir-fry or steam them, and don’t use so much oil.

Warning light: There are white stubbles at the corners of the baby's mouth

Normally, mothers should not just kiss the baby's mouth without observing its abnormal conditions! Often, small details can also reflect the baby's physical condition, such as the information that the baby is getting angry.

Judgment: Some mothers who observe their baby's body carefully may find that sometimes there are some "white stubble" at the corners of the baby's mouth. Why is this so? In fact, it is caused by the baby's dry mouth, which means that the baby has a temper. Put out the fire quickly!

What to do: You can find some persimmon frost on persimmon cakes and mix it with water for your baby to drink, or buy some star fruits for your baby to eat. If the baby has mouth ulcers and the tongue coating is yellow, give the baby some corresponding Chinese medicine immediately to put out the fire. Otherwise, the baby will be more naughty and the mother will be more tired.

Warning light: dry and hard stools and stomach fire

Many mothers know that they can observe the hardness of their baby's stool to know whether the baby is suffering from internal heat. However, do you know which part of the body is suffering from internal heat? In addition to observing the stool, have you observed the baby's facial expression when he or she is defecating?

Judgment: Every time the baby poops, parents should not only observe the softness and hardness of the stool, but also observe the baby's expression and whether the bowel movement is easy and smooth. If the baby is in great pain and has great effort to defecate, the stool is very hard instead of soft yellow, and there is bad breath, then it means that the baby has stomach fire.

What to do: If your baby has stomach fire, try to clean his stomach and intestines and don’t let him eat too much. You can drink some millet porridge or lily porridge. It is best to have a light porridge for breakfast in the morning.

Warning light: Excessive sweating in the palms, excessive internal heat

Are the palms of your baby's hands often sweaty and wet? Are they cold? Do mothers often pay attention to what the palms of their babies' hands look like? This may also be a hint of the baby's physical condition.

Judgment: If the palms are cool and moist, that is normal; if they are dry and hot, and sweat at night, it means that the baby has internal heat. Such babies have weak constitutions and cannot eat cold foods.

What to do: Pediatric massage is a good method. Massaging your baby's hands and rubbing the soles of his feet are both good methods. If the condition is serious, consult a doctor immediately.
