What is the reason for the yellow tongue coating of a six-month-old baby?

Six-month-old babies are still developing very quickly, and at this time they can start to eat some fruits and vegetables. From some of their small physical characteristics, we can judge whether their body is healthy. Tongue coating is one of them, which can determine whether they are sick. So why does a six-month-old baby have yellow tongue coating?

A slightly yellow or greasy tongue coating is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach or gastrointestinal stagnation, which is seen in infection, fever or digestive dysfunction, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, irritability, and dry stools. The diet should include foods that clear heat and dampness, such as white radish, tomato, loofah, lotus root powder, mung bean or coix seed porridge, and fruits such as hawthorn and pear can be used.

Thick yellow tongue coating is caused by damp heat in the spleen and stomach or gastrointestinal stagnation, which is seen in infection, fever or digestive dysfunction, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, irritability, and dry stools. In this case, it is recommended that the baby drink more water, and rice noodles can be added during the day to avoid increasing the intestinal burden due to slower intestinal motility at night. Mothers should have a light diet, eat less high-fat and high-protein foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, do not consume too much hot food, and try to use less frying and stir-frying cooking methods. Generally, as long as the baby's growth, development, appetite and spirit are normal, there is no need to worry. You can drink the above cool foods appropriately. It is normal for babies to move their limbs during sleep. It is related to their light sleep and is unconscious movement. There is no need to intervene too much. If they cry, just comfort them and help them continue to sleep.

The reasons for a six-month-old baby's yellow tongue coating are both physiological and pathological. In life, eating some yellow fruits and other foods will cause a six-month-old baby's tongue coating to turn yellow. After understanding the above conditions, if your baby also has a six-month-old baby's tongue coating, if it is not due to physiological reasons, we must find some pathological reasons.
