Patient's question:
My child's tongue coating is often white and thick, and she has a bowel movement once a day, which is a bit dry and hard. I gave her Longmu Zhuanggu Granules twice a day, and the white and thick tongue coating phenomenon decreased, but the bowel movement is still dry and hard. Some people say that taking Longmu Zhuanggu Granules can easily cause a "hot" condition. Is it that she has poor spleen and stomach?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, drink more warm water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm. Generally, a white tongue is caused by cold exposure, which is what we commonly refer to as catching a cold. If there are no special symptoms, there is usually no need for special treatment. If symptoms do occur, symptomatic treatment can be applied. After catching a cold, it is relatively common to develop upper respiratory infections, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, or cough. In such cases, you can use medications for treating upper respiratory infections, which usually yield noticeable effects.
