What is the reason for the child's white tongue

Patient's question:

The child is seven months old. Lately, there's a bit of white on the middle of their tongue. They're eating normally, but I've given them some pomegranates, oranges, steamed apples, and carrots recently. However, they've only eaten a little bit of each. A few days ago, they had a bowel movement every other day, but today they had three. It seems like their stool is normal. What could be the reason for their tongue turning white? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, the child's dinner is normal, bowel movements are normal, and the middle of the tongue is white, which may be related to eating colored foods. Thank you very much for your visit. Based on your situation, it is recommended that you provide complementary foods for the child and pay attention to gradual progression, not providing too much at once. The above is the suggestion for the question "What is the reason for the child's white tongue," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
