What to do if your child's tongue coating turns yellow

Taking care of children is a job that requires patience and carefulness. If you are not careful, the child may get sick, so mothers are particularly worried that their children will get sick. Sometimes when we find that the child’s tongue is coated with yellow coating, we don’t know what to do. Today we will discuss the issue of what to do if the child has a yellow tongue coating. Let’s see what inexperienced mothers should do if the child has this problem.

There is a thick layer of yellow-white dirt on the tongue, the tongue coating is thick and sticky and not easy to scrape off, and there is a sour and smelly smell in the mouth. This situation is mostly caused by overeating, eating greasy food, and poor spleen and stomach digestion function.

Treatment measures: When the baby has this kind of tongue coating, the baby should eat a lighter diet. For babies with a particularly good appetite, they should be reminded to eat an appropriate amount of each meal so that the gastrointestinal tract can get sufficient rest.

If your baby has milk and food stagnation, you can choose to use Chinese patent medicines such as "Baohe Pills", "Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets" or "Wangshi Baochi Pills" to help digest food and ensure smooth bowel movements.

?You can use 15g of chicken gizzard lining, 10g of Poria cocos, and 30g of hawthorn to boil water and take it, one dose per day.

If the baby's stool is dry and the abdomen is obviously bloated, you can boil 15g of stir-fried Erchou and 15g of raw Astragalus in water and drink it, which can also help digestion and relieve constipation.

The tongue is like a map. Geographic tongue refers to a pale tongue with one or more peeling tongue coating. The peeling edges are high and protruding like a frame, shaped like a map. There will be discomfort or slight pain when eating hot porridge. Geographic tongue is generally seen in digestive dysfunction, or the baby has been ill for a long time, which causes damage to both the Qi and Yin in the body. Babies with geographic tongue tend to be picky eaters, have a partial diet, love cold drinks, have unstable sleep, kick off the quilt, and toss and turn when they sleep. Smaller babies are prone to crying, hot flashes and sweating, have a sallow and dull complexion, are weak and thin, are afraid of cold, and have hot palms.

Treatment: Eat more fresh fruits and fresh, dark green or red vegetables. At the same time, be careful to avoid fried, smoked, grilled, greasy and spicy foods. ?You can use appropriate amounts of longan meat, yam, white lentils, and red dates to cook porridge with coix seed and millet for your baby to eat. If you eat it together with animal liver, the effect will be better.

If the baby has a pale complexion, a bad temper, sweats a lot, and has dry stools, it is mostly due to damage to both the Qi and Yin. You can use appropriate amounts of lily, lotus seeds, wolfberries, and raw astragalus to make soup and drink it, which will improve the geographic tongue.

According to the above statements, we know that our children will have some minor illnesses to some extent. At this time, our mothers should treat them according to the symptoms of the children. In daily life, we should let the children avoid picky eating. Also, if the tongue coating is yellow, it may be heat. Let the child drink some herbal tea and the problem can be solved. I hope the child can grow up healthily.
