Treatment for black tongue coating in babies

We have seen many babies around us with black tongue coating. This condition is a manifestation of abnormal function in some aspect of our body. We ourselves often experience this condition. Many people do not understand this condition very well, nor do they know the effective treatment methods. So what should we do when this happens? Blind treatment has disadvantages. Here we will introduce the treatment method when the baby's tongue coating is black.

Treatment:

1. A normal tongue has a thin layer of white fur, which is caused by stomach qi. During the course of the disease, the tongue coating disappears from the surface, which is a sign of insufficient stomach qi and yin, and a gradual decline in vital energy. However, after the tongue coating peels off, a thin white coating grows back, which is a sign that the evil is retreating and the vital energy is regenerating, and stomach qi is gradually recovering.

2. If you can faintly see the tongue texture through the tongue coating, it is thin coating, while if you cannot see the tongue texture, it is thick coating. The thickness of the tongue coating can determine the strength of the positive and negative forces and the severity of the disease. Thin tongue coating indicates external symptoms of infection, as well as internal injury and qi stagnation. Thick tongue coating indicates phlegm, dampness, and stagnation. When the tongue coating changes from thin to thick, it means that the pathogenic factors move from the surface to the inside, and the disease progresses as the pathogenic factors are stronger; when the tongue coating changes from thick to thin, it means that the pathogenic factors move from the inside to the surface, and the disease progresses as the pathogenic factors prevail.

3. If the tongue surface is moist, and the dryness and wetness are moderate, it is a normal tongue image. Although there is a disease, the body fluids are not damaged. If it feels moist and slippery, it is called slippery tongue coating, which mostly indicates cold and dampness, or yang deficiency and water retention. If the tongue looks dry and there is no saliva when touched, it is dry tongue coating, which is mostly caused by excessive heat damaging body fluid, loss of yin fluid, or failure of qi to transform body fluid.

4. Changes in the distribution of tongue coating on the tongue surface. The tongue coating covering the entire tongue is called full tongue. When the tongue coating is distributed partially on the front, back, left or right side of the tongue, it is called partiality. By observing the distribution of the tongue coating, one can determine the location of the lesion. The whole tongue coating indicates that the evil qi is scattered, which is mostly a sign of damp phlegm blocking the middle burner; the tongue coating is biased on one side of the tongue, which means that the evil is half-exterior and half-interior, or the disease is in the liver and gallbladder; the root of the tongue coating is thick and greasy, which is mostly phlegm or gastrointestinal stagnation.

5. Changes in the thickness and amount of tongue coating also reflect the progress of positive and negative forces. If the tongue coating changes from less to more, or from thin to thick, it generally means that the evil qi has worsened and the disease is progressing; if the tongue coating changes from thick to thin, or from more to less, it means that the positive qi has gradually recovered and the disease is retreating. If the tongue coating suddenly increases or decreases, it is usually a sign of a sudden change in the disease.

6. Thick tongue coating and bad breath. If a person has a thick tongue coating and bad breath all year round, it usually means that there is some minor problem with the stomach. If you don’t feel any other discomfort at the moment, you can start by adjusting your diet and daily life. Maintain a regular life, be in a good mood, eat easily digestible food, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less fatty and fried food, and it is best not to drink alcohol or smoke. After a period of treatment, abnormal tongue coating and bad breath are expected to heal themselves.

7. White tongue coating can be seen in normal conditions as well as in pathological conditions. If the tongue is red with a thin white coating, it is normal and no treatment is needed. Ruiou has a thin, white and slippery tongue coating, which is often seen in superficial cold syndrome. It can be treated by the method of dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms. If the tongue coating is thick and white, it is often caused by severe cold and dampness, such as cold and dampness in the spleen and stomach. It can be treated under the guidance of a doctor by the method of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, warming the middle and dispersing cold. Timely and standardized treatment can cure the disease.
