What causes thick tongue coating in children?

Patient's question:

Fire can lead to decreased appetite, restlessness, and in this case, thick tongue coating in children.

Doctor's answer:

Children with thick and white tongue coating are related to the following reasons:
1. Fire. Fire can lead to reduced appetite and restlessness. In this case, it is recommended to give the baby seven-star tea, which can help digestion and promote gastrointestinal function.
2. Indigestion. Poor gastrointestinal function can easily cause indigestion, which is also one of the main reasons for a thick and white tongue coating. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should eat more fruits and vegetables to aid digestion and avoid spicy or greasy foods, especially excessive meat. If the baby is formula-fed, it is appropriate to give them some honeysuckle dew to promote gastrointestinal function.
3. Cold abdomen. If the baby is not properly covered during sleep, the abdomen may become cold, which can also affect the baby's gastrointestinal function and lead to a thick and white tongue coating.
