What should I do if I have a light tongue with thin white coating and a burning sensation?

A pale tongue with thin white coating may be caused by deficiency of qi and blood, yang deficiency, etc. Meanwhile, a burning sensation may be caused by eating spicy and irritating foods. However, the exact cause needs to be decided in conjunction with the patient’s other symptoms. Patients with deficiency of qi and blood, in addition to a pale tongue with thin white moss, can also be seen less breath and lazy speech (lack of strength, do not want to talk), fatigue (mental fatigue, physical weakness), spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, sweating is aggravated by the slightest movement), dizziness, palpitations (heartbeat accelerated, often accompanied by panic), insomnia, pale or yellowish color, and so on. Yang deficiency patients, in addition to pale tongue with thin white moss, can also be seen pale or gray-black, fear of cold, low temperature of the hands and feet, mental fatigue, swelling. If the symptoms of burning sensation of a pale tongue with thin white coating are not relieved for a long time or accompanied by other discomforts, consult a doctor in time to find out the cause and carry out targeted treatment.
