Question
A parent inquired about their child’s tongue coating normalcy and whether there are symptoms of strawberry tongue. The child has recently been sweating, has a decent appetite for dinner, but has a history of slight wind-cold due to kicking off the blanket before.
Answer
Based on the child’s tongue coating, it appears white and moist, indicating a possible food retention in the body. Children with food retention are prone to catching colds. It is recommended to give the child stomach-soothing and digestion-promoting tablets or a spleen-strengthening pill, drink plenty of water, adopt a light diet, and increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. We hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and we wish the child a speedy recovery.
