Patient's question:
No tongue coating, how to treat? The child is 7 years old and coughing. The doctor said to treat the cough first, then treat the tongue coating. It must be treated. I don't know why?Doctor's answer:
The child does not have a tongue coating, which is usually a symptom of internal heat. It could also be glossitis. If the tongue is red without a coating, it may also be due to a cold condition in the spleen and stomach. If it has never had a tongue coating since birth, it is considered congenital without a tongue coating. If there are no pathological symptoms, it is a normal phenomenon. If it previously had a coating but now does not, it may be related to digestion and nutrition. It is recommended to check for the presence of chronic diseases. If there are no pathological symptoms, attention to lifestyle regulation can generally help it gradually recover.
