Question
Children often experience white, thick tongue coating and hard stool. Although they have been taking Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, the white tongue coating has decreased, but the hard stool remains. Some people believe this could be a sign of poor spleen and stomach function.
Answer
Based on the description, it is suggested to increase the child’s water intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and pay attention to abdominal warmth. White tongue coating is usually due to coldness, and if there are no special symptoms, it generally does not require special treatment. If there are upper respiratory infection symptoms, appropriate medication can be used. For the issue of hard stool, in addition to taking Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, it is also important to consider adjusting the diet structure and lifestyle to improve spleen and stomach function.
