What’s going on if my baby’s tongue turns green?

The baby's physical health is extremely fragile and can easily be adversely affected in all aspects, causing the baby's body to suffer certain pain. Among them, most diseases will manifest themselves through the condition of the baby's tongue. Therefore, when the baby's body shows abnormalities, you can first observe the tongue. For example, what's going on with the baby's green tongue coating? I hope parents can understand this.

1. The green color of the tongue coating indicates internal heat. Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by the gas produced by the mixture of stomach qi and the taste of food, which eventually lingers in the tongue;

2. A thick coating on the tongue accompanied by bad breath indicates a problem with the stomach and intestines. If no other physical problems are found, then you should adjust your daily diet, eat more easily digestible food, eat less greasy food, eat a light diet, and eat less fried and spicy food;

3. If the tongue coating is thick and green, check whether it is greasy. The so-called greasy refers to the greasy feeling. If so, it means that there is damp heat in the body, and you should eat some food or medicine to remove dampness and clear heat;

Eating some Shuanghuanglian should be enough. If it still doesn't get better, it may be a liver and stomach problem. You can drink some probiotic concentrate to regulate your stomach and intestines and enhance their digestion and absorption capabilities.

If a child's tongue coating turns green, it is very likely that he or she is lacking trace elements in the body. However, mothers must not give their children trace element supplements for the sake of convenience and quickness. This will definitely harm the child's body and affect the child's subsequent development. For the healthy growth of children, mothers should feed their children more foods that supplement trace elements and provide healthy nutrition.

The above is an explanation of why the baby’s tongue coating turns green. Once the abnormal color of the baby’s tongue does not fade for a long time, you should pay attention to it. You should take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to prevent the baby from developing serious illness and affecting growth and development.
