Patient's question:
My child's tongue coating is often white and thick, and she has a bowel movement once a day, which is a bit dry and hard. I gave her Longmu Zhuanggu Granules twice a day, and the white and thick tongue coating phenomenon decreased, but the bowel movement is still dry and hard. Some people say that taking Longmu Zhuanggu Granules can easily cause internal heat. Is she just poor in spleen and stomach?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, drink more warm water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm. In general, a white tongue is usually caused by cold exposure. That is to say, what is commonly referred to as catching a cold. If there are no special symptoms, there is generally no need for special treatment. If there are symptoms, symptomatic treatment can be applied. After catching a cold, it is more common to develop upper respiratory infections, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, or cough. If this is the case, you can use medications for treating upper respiratory infections, which generally yield significant therapeutic effects.
