When taking care of children, many attentive parents may notice their tongue turning red and worry about what kind of disease it is. They are very concerned about this and want to solve it through reasonable methods to eliminate symptoms. To have a good solution, it is necessary to understand the reasons for children's tongue turning red.
The child's tongue tip is red and there is tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, which is likely a sign of upper respiratory tract infection. When a child has a cold, not only does the tip of their tongue turn red, but there is also a certain temperature difference between the palms and backs of their hands. Fever caused by upper respiratory infection can affect digestive enzymes in the intestine. Poor intestinal function can make a child's stool dry, and at this time, the child's tongue will also turn red.
Due to the above reasons, parents should adjust their children's dietary structure, eat less raw and cold foods, as well as foods that are too sweet and high in sugar, and eat less meat. If it's summer, don't set the temperature in the air-conditioned room too low.
If a child's tongue tip turns red, it is also important to carefully observe whether the child's tongue has any other symptoms. If it is found that the child's tongue coating has peeled off and the shape of the peeling is uneven like a map. This condition is often accompanied by poor appetite, yellowish complexion, thin and weak body, night sweats, or poor physical condition. This situation is caused by the child's incomplete intake of nutrients, a lack of certain vitamins or trace elements. Pay attention to regulating the child's spleen and stomach function in this situation.
