What should I do if a child's tongue is red?

Patient's question:

The child is 6 years old. A couple of days ago, they had a fever, and until now, their tongue has been red without any coating, with large particles on top. The doctor said it's strawberry tongue, and their respiratory system is also not good, with phlegm, but the tongue doesn't hurt.
Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been given.
Request: Treatment

Doctor's answer:

This friend, don't hurry. The child's condition is because the body lacks moisture after a fever, which can cause this type of tongue coating to reappear. So don't worry, it's just a stomach issue, and it's okay if the body lacks moisture.
Suggestions: The child should drink more water, avoid spicy and cold foods, and eat more lung-cleansing fruits, such as large pear, oranges, etc. Then the baby can recover on its own.
The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if a child's tongue is red with large particles and no coating?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
