Question
My newborn is 20 days old. Can I use washing soda to clean their mouth and wipe their tongue every day? Previous treatment and results: None. Desired assistance: To solve the problem.
Answer
If the white tongue coating is thick, it indicates a cold body and poor metabolism. The mother should eat more warming and nourishing foods, stop eating all cold and damp foods, such as cold fruits, but also avoid eating too greasy. There are already signs of indigestion. If it’s thrush, a dose of Nystatin tablets can be made into a paste. Apply it to the baby’s tongue. Then, endure washing the baby’s mouth with warm water every day to alleviate such symptoms.
