What is the reason for the white tongue of a child?

Patient's question:

3 years and 7 months, male, the child's tongue is always white. He has eaten various digestive aids, but they don't seem to have a significant effect. I don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

The white tongue of a baby is a normal physiological phenomenon. A normal tongue coating is thin and white. If the tongue coating is significantly thickened and accompanied by bad breath, it may be due to poor gastrointestinal digestion, abnormal secretion of digestive fluids, or stomach Qi rising upwards. When eating, choose light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Additionally, consider taking Compound B-complex tablets, Shen Zhu Er Kang Syrup, and Multi-enzyme Tablets for regulation and treatment. Pay attention to limiting snacks for the child and encouraging more consumption of fruits and vegetables such as apples, bananas, kiwis, avocados, carrots, and tomatoes.
