Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing repeated indigestion, and his tongue coating is particularly yellow. What should I do for a 5-year-old child with repeated indigestion and a thick yellow tongue coating?Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation, this may be related to food accumulation in children. Food accumulation refers to gastrointestinal diseases caused by excessive milk intake in children, damaged spleen and stomach, and stagnation of milk intake in the middle abdomen. It primarily occurs in infants and young children, mainly characterized by abdominal distension, dry or sour stools, foul odor, belching with sourness, and abdominal fever. Long-term food accumulation can lead to malnutrition in children, affecting their growth and development. When accumulating food, it is best for children to engage in some exercise and eat light food.
