Thick white tongue and bad breath: Is it due to internal heat or stomach cold?

Patient's question:

My daughter has thick tongue coating, which becomes thicker from the tip of the tongue to the root, white in color. She has bad breath, which is worse in the morning. Her bowel movements are slightly dry, and her urine is yellow?

Doctor's answer:

According to your limited description, you may have the symptom of excessive stomach fire. You can eat some fire-clearing foods (such as bitter melon) regularly, drink more water, eat more fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy, greasy, and rich foods. For such a young child, I won't prescribe medication; just pay more attention to it during daily life.

For patients with halitosis, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary for patients to maintain proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
