What's wrong with a four-year-old baby's thick white tongue coating?

1. If the baby only has a thick tongue coating and no other physical abnormalities, it is because the baby has indigestion. The mother can massage the baby's abdomen to promote digestion, and give the baby some crude fiber foods, such as vegetables and fruits, to help the baby digest.

2. It is recommended that mothers can supplement their babies with some probiotics to regulate the baby's intestinal flora, promote the baby's digestion and absorption, prevent diarrhea, reduce constipation, and improve the baby's appetite.

How to relieve baby's indigestion

1. Eat an apple. Apples can promote baby's gastrointestinal digestion and increase the baby's absorption of nutrients. Mash the apples and add to the tea. This method is suitable for babies over one year old.

2. Boil hawthorn in water. Hawthorn is very good at helping digestion, so when your baby has indigestion, you might as well give him some. If it has no taste, you can add some sugar appropriately.

3. Give your baby appropriate abdominal massage. The method is very simple. Mothers can rub the baby's navel and abdomen counterclockwise. Be careful to use moderate intensity and do it multiple times a day. If your baby has abdominal distension, you can apply a navel patch or hot compress.

4. When the baby has indigestion, parents should not let the baby eat too much. They can give the baby some food that is easier to digest, such as porridge, paste, etc.

5. If a breastfeeding baby suffers from indigestion, the mother should extend the time between feedings and appropriately reduce the number of feedings. In addition, breastfeeding mothers should also pay more attention to adjusting their diet, not eating too much at one time, and not eating greasy and difficult to digest food. For babies who are fed with milk powder, do not change the proportion of milk powder at will.

The reason why babies have thick tongue coating is mostly caused by abnormalities in the body. However, if no other physical reactions have occurred, parents can observe through some dietary adjustments, such as letting the baby drink more water, or eating some food that helps digestion, or increasing the amount of exercise for the baby. If these methods cannot make the baby's tongue coating normal and increase the abnormal reactions of the body, you need to seek medical attention in time.
