The reason why the eight-month-old baby's tongue coating turns yellow

The tongue coating is the most flexible part of the oral cavity. Sometimes, due to irregular diet or unbalanced metabolism, the tongue coating may turn yellow. This is normal for adults, but for a baby with a very simple and regular diet, the yellow tongue coating may attract the attention of parents. So what are the factors that cause yellow tongue coating in babies, and how should it be treated?

When the baby's tongue coating turns yellow, parents should understand whether it is related to indigestion in the infant. Do you have indigestion, decreased food intake, etc.? Have you lost weight? Is there any malnutrition? If you are in good weight, you can try taking probiotics. In addition, it seems that there is something wrong with the addition of complementary foods. It is recommended that you go to the local hospital for a check-up.

Here are some reasons why your baby's tongue turns yellow, and some corresponding treatment measures:

1. If the child's condition is caused by indigestion, let the child take pediatric stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, let the child drink more warm water, and pay attention to the child's eating habits. Yellow tongue coating is usually accompanied by dry stools, which is a manifestation of heat damaging body fluids, intestinal dryness, and gastrointestinal indigestion. You need to clear away heat and reduce fire, drink more water and exercise more. Eight-month-old babies can eat some vegetable juice and fruit juice to reduce internal heat.

2. Choose foods that clear away heat and dampness, such as white radish, tomatoes, loofah, lotus root powder, mung bean or coix seed porridge, and hawthorn, pear, etc. Do not wash with a cloth, as this will make the child nauseous and vomit.

3. This is just for mild internal heat in babies. When adding complementary foods, give your baby more fruit puree, such as apple puree, tomato puree, etc., and give your baby more boiled water. If you are breastfeeding, mothers should pay attention to their diet.

A little bit of dietary inappropriateness may cause a big reaction in the baby. The baby's stomach and intestines are extremely fragile, which requires mothers to pay special attention when taking care of them. The tongue coating is the carrier of gastrointestinal problems. As long as the color of the tongue coating is abnormal, it may be caused by gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to the baby's diet and let the baby maintain a normal and regular diet.
