Help needed:
1. Why is the tongue turning purple?
2. How should it be regulated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. A normal child's tongue is relatively moist. The tongue coating is thin and white. The tongue color should be light pink. If the baby's tongue is purple, it is highly likely that there is an issue with the child's circulatory system. When the child's blood circulation slows down and the body is oxygen-deprived, the tongue may turn purple. Additionally, this phenomenon may occur when an infant's breathing is obstructed. Parents should take the child to the hospital for examination immediately. Another possible reason for this is congenital cyanotic heart disease, which requires immediate treatment and should not be delayed.
