Question
A 2-year-old girl has been suffering from the issue of white coating on her tongue and has been treated with various medications, but there has been no improvement. What could be causing the white coating on a child’s tongue?
Answer
A white coating on a child’s tongue may be caused by spleen and stomach coldness, poor digestion, or wind-cold invasion. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritant foods, extremely cold and hard-to-digest foods, and snacks. You can also take pediatric health remedies for a period of time. Severe cases require a pediatric consultation at a hospital. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, so patients should go to a regular three-level A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations. In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, keep warm, eat light and soft food, ventilate frequently, and drink plenty of hot water.
