Patient's question:
Over eleven months, the baby's tongue coating turned yellow and then gradually became brown, with dry stools occurring every two or three days.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: Unsure how to implement dietary therapy.
Doctor's answer:
Due to the inability to absorb nutrients through diet, which leads to damage to the spleen and stomach, resulting in thick, greasy, yellowish-black tongue coating, pediatric acupuncture can be applied, which is very effective. Then, attention should be paid to diet—avoid overeating and consume easily digestible foods. It is also important to ensure regular bowel movements for the child daily. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and timely treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold. When introducing complementary foods, follow the principle of small amounts and frequent meals.
