Question
My newborn baby’s tongue tip is a bit yellow. I want to know the cause.
Answer
Hello, this situation might be due to poor hygiene or the mother consuming spicy foods. If the baby is not affected while feeding and the baby is in good spirits and appetite, there is generally no need for special treatment. You can clean the baby’s mouth with physiological saline water every day to keep it dry and hygienic. Usually, it will gradually improve in about two to three days. Do not squeeze the small tongue tip to avoid causing an infection.
