Patient's question:
My child is six months old, and they are currently in good health. However, I've noticed a white coating on the top of their tongue. A normal tongue should be bright red, but I can see a white layer on the surface of their tongue. What could be causing this? The child is developing normally in all aspects.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a common issue that many babies face, so there's no need to worry too much. This is likely due to weather conditions. When it's hot, if the baby doesn't drink water after nursing, breast milk can accumulate in their mouth, gradually forming thick, white. This can be resolved by giving the baby some water after feeding to help clear the milk. Over time, it will improve. It's worth mentioning that you should avoid using any home remedies or applying medication, as "every medicine has three poisons."
