Have you ever paid attention to your baby’s oral condition? Chinese medicine is concerned about the look and smell, and the “look” is mainly to look at the face, look at the mouth! Mothers should be careful, different parts of the baby’s mouth abnormalities reflect the baby’s different diseases! The baby’s tongue is yellow. The normal baby’s tongue should be soft, freely moving, light red in color, with a thin dry and moist moss on the tongue. Once there is a problem with the body, the tongue texture and tongue coating will change accordingly at first. If there is a thick layer of yellowish-white dirt on the baby’s tongue, sticky and thick, not easy to scrape off, and at the same time there is a sour smell in the mouth, this situation is probably caused by damp heat in the spleen and stomach or stagnation in the intestines and stomach. Gastrointestinal stagnation is also called “food accumulation” in folklore. This is mainly because the baby usually eats too much, or eats too much fatty food, and the spleen and stomach digestive function is poor, so there is stagnation. When the baby’s tongue is yellow, the diet should be relatively light, eat more easily digestible food, such as some anti-eating drugs or hawthorn, if necessary, consult a doctor. Damp heat of the spleen, on the other hand, is a sign that the baby is on fire. For the spleen and stomach damp heat baby can choose to clear heat and damp food to regulate, such as white radish, tomato or barley porridge, fruit can choose hawthorn, pear, etc.. At the same time, give your baby more water to drink. Baby’s lips are white Because the epidermis of the lips is very thin, it can completely reflect the color of the blood. If the baby’s lips become lighter, it means that there is not enough hemoglobin. If the baby’s lips are too white, it indicates the possibility of anemia. If the baby also has pale nails at the same time, anemia is highly likely. Generally speaking, people with anemia not only have white lips, but also white eyelids, pale face, white nails, and they are all white without luster due to the lower than normal content of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood. The main cause of anemia in babies is their partial diet. Parents should usually give their babies more fruits and vegetables like carrots, spinach, tomatoes, kiwi and foods like chicken liver, pork liver and black sesame.

The initial manifestation is redness and itchiness on the corners of the mouth, followed by epithelial peeling off, forming erosions, maceration or cracks, pulling apart and bleeding easily when opening the mouth, and affecting eating and speaking.

Babies are prone to this disease in winter, because the winter climate is dry, vegetables and fruits are relatively less eaten, there is often a lack of vitamin C and B2, causing the corners of the mouth dry and cracked. Baby mouth ulcers There are many reasons for baby mouth ulcers, the more common are the following categories: 1, mouth sores – more common, but the cause varies.
