The symptoms of your baby’s tongue can indicate health status. When I was a child and my mother took me to the doctor, the doctor always asked me to open my mouth and look at my tongue first. A healthy baby should have a moderately thin moss on the tongue, light red in color and no odor in the mouth, i.e. “light red tongue with thin moss”. What kind of tongue represents the baby is sick? A map tongue: may be bad spleen and stomach If the baby’s tongue is found to be unevenly flaking, like a map-like tongue, it is mostly related to digestive diseases of the spleen and stomach, so pay attention to the diet and regulate the spleen and stomach. Second, the tongue is red and has floating moss: it may be an upper respiratory tract infection When a baby has a cold and fever, the tongue will be red and usually the palm is hot while the back of the hand is cooler. In this case, parents are advised to drink more water, eat less cold drinks and sweets, and eat less meat and greasy food. Third, the tongue moss is thick, white and greasy: possible food accumulation The child eats too much and too full, it will cause food accumulation, at this time, the baby’s tongue moss is thick, the tongue is red, the moss is white and greasy, there is a thick layer of yellow and white dirt, the stool is smelly and dry, there will be a foul smell in the mouth. For this situation, you can let the child eat more coarse fiber food, appropriate to take some drugs to help digestion, if constipation, but also appropriate abdominal massage. Fourth, smooth tongue without moss: may be caused by a long illness When the baby’s tongue is smooth without moss, it means that the baby is depleted of fluid and may be in a state of long illness, which then requires timely medical attention. Sometimes the baby eats certain drugs or food, which will often make the color of the tongue moss change. In addition, identifying changes in tongue texture can be used as a reference for your child’s health regimen, but you should never use medicine completely on your own based on the situation.
