Many parents may find that their children often have white and thick tongue coating in their daily lives, and at this time, the children are not very fond of eating and may also experience developmental delays. So, what are the reasons for the white and thick tongue coating in children?
The main reason for children's white and thick tongue coating is due to poor digestive function in the intestines, which leads to indigestion and is also a manifestation of overeating. At this time, children may show reluctance to eat, but parents should not force them to eat. Adequate hunger can also alleviate digestive problems.
To improve the white and thick tongue coating of children, the first step is to encourage them to participate in more exercise and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, some difficult to digest foods, and fried foods. These should be eaten in moderation to avoid worsening digestive problems. Medications can also improve the thickness and whiteness of children's tongue coating. It is recommended to take some digestive aids or probiotics in moderation.
When a child's tongue coating is white and thick, and they also experience dry stools, it should be considered that it is caused by internal heat. At this time, it is necessary to take medication to clear heat, and you can also eat some foods that clear heat and detoxify to complement the treatment. Foods that clear heat and detoxify include radish, lotus root, mung beans, and so on. It is recommended to give children more mung bean soup or radish soup in daily life, as these foods are easier to digest and have a good effect on the white and thick tongue coating of children.
