Question
The phenomenon of a child’s white, thick tongue coating and lack of appetite indicates that the child is experiencing indigestion, which is known as spleen and stomach weakness in traditional Chinese medicine. If accompanied by sour spit-up, undigested milk clumps, and feces mixed with bubbles, it is more certain. You can give the child some digestive water or yeast tablets for assistance. If the child is breastfed, the nursing mother should pay attention to eating a diet mainly consisting of light, nutritious, and easy-to-digest foods and avoid consuming greasy or overly rich foods.
