What should I do if a child's tongue coating is white?

Patient's question:

How to prevent frequent tonsil inflammation in children that causes fever? For this question, please have relevant professionals answer.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It's not a big problem! No need to worry! It might be caused by formula milk, because the baby's digestive system is not fully developed and has difficulty absorbing certain components of the formula. So if the baby is formula-fed, we need to check if there is any issue with the formula and pay attention to drinking more water. It could also be due to breastfeeding. If the mother consumes something that causes "internal heat" () while breastfeeding, it can easily affect the breastfed baby. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to whether there are any "internal heat" foods in their diet.
