Question
The newborn has a yellow tongue and persistent abdominal pain for four days. What could be the cause?
Answer
The yellow tongue and abdominal pain in the patient may be due to gastritis or cholecystitis, which traditional Chinese medicine associates with damp-heat. It is recommended that the patient take Lansoprazole tablets, Prucalpin tablets, and Sanjiu Gaotai granules, and pay attention to a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. If symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further examination.
