Patient's question:
The baby's tongue was white before, but recently I noticed it's green. I haven't given the baby any green food? The baby is acting normally. What could be the reason for this? What causes a green tongue in babies?Doctor's answer:
The baby's tongue coating is thick and green. It suggests indigestion and excessive stomach heat. If it's not very thick, it's not a problem. Give the baby some light food. If the baby can eat and sleep well, and is very active, there is nothing to worry about: It is recommended to give the baby Mimi Ai (a probiotic supplement) and infant Jianpi San (a traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen) to regulate the condition. Drink more warm water. Maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and overly greasy foods. Eat more fruits and engage in appropriate exercise.
