Current general condition: After taking Baohetang Pearl Monkey Plum Powder, there has been some improvement. After stopping the medicine, the tongue coating has become thick and white again. Previous diagnosis, treatment history, and effectiveness:

Doctor's answer:

Children with thick, white are related to the following reasons:
1. Fire. Fire can lead to reduced appetite and restlessness. In this case, it is recommended to give the baby seven-star tea, which can help digestion and promote gastrointestinal function.
2. Poor digestion. Poor gastrointestinal function can easily lead to indigestion, which is also one of the main causes of thick, white. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should eat more fruits and vegetables to aid digestion and avoid spicy or greasy foods, especially excessive meat. If the baby is formula-fed, they can be given some honeysuckle dew appropriately to promote gastrointestinal function.
3. Cold abdomen. If the baby is not properly covered during sleep, the abdomen may become cold, which can also affect the baby's gastrointestinal function and lead to thick, white.
