Question

Why do certain areas of a baby’s tongue lack white tongue coating?

Answer

A baby’s red tongue with little or no white coating may be a sign of Yin Deficiency and Internal Heat. If the baby’s mood, diet, and bowel movements are normal, there is usually no need to worry. However, if the baby shows symptoms such as excessive thirst, yellow urine, dry stools, and constant thirst, it is recommended to seek medical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine for adjustment.
