Treatment of white mouth in newborns

The whiteness of the mouth of newborns has attracted the attention of many people nowadays. I wonder if you have paid close attention to our tongue coating. If you pay attention, you will find that many people's mouths are very white. Of course, this is not a big problem, but it is very important for our children. Many people can’t figure out what’s going on. In fact, the problem of whiteness of the mouth of newborns is caused by many reasons, and the reasons caused by people of different physiques are also different. Let us learn about the treatment methods of whiteness of the mouth of newborns.

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. If the tongue coating is thin, white and smooth, it is often seen in superficial cold syndrome, and can be treated by dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms; if the tongue coating is thick and white, it is often caused by severe cold and dampness, spleen and stomach cold and dampness, etc., and a healthy lifestyle can be adopted under the guidance of a doctor.
