Eight-month-old baby, recently has thick and white tongue coating, poor appetite, doesn't like eating anymore, vomits immediately upon feeding, and sometimes swallows saliva dryly in the mouth. Not sure if it's because the food isn't going down or if saliva is excreted too quickly and can't be swallowed in time??Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the thick tongue coating of the child may be a manifestation of stomach upset. Generally, for children of this age, a thick tongue coating and stomach upset are often related to diet. Therefore, it's best to take the child to the hospital. The pediatric department can perform a blood routine test and a stool routine examination. Also, pay attention to eating less sweet food!
