What is the baby's tongue like in a healthy state?
Healthy baby's tongue looks red in color, soft in body and covered with a thin layer of moderate humidity. The mouth has no peculiar smell, and the tongue is flexible and elastic.
How is the baby's tongue color abnormal?
1, the baby's tongue looks white and greasy.
If you see the baby's tongue coating is white and greasy, and the tongue coating is thick, you can even see obvious yellow and white dirt. The baby's mouth has a strong smell, indicating that the baby may have food accumulation. At this time, you can give your baby more crude fiber food and give your baby some digestive drugs.
2, the baby's tongue appears "map"
Because when this happens, the baby's tongue coating falls off at one or more places, and the falling edge will form a white bulge, and the whole tongue looks like a map, so it is called "map tongue". This shows that the baby's intestinal function may be problematic, so don't give the baby fried and spicy food, and give the baby fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. The baby's tongue is very smooth
Sometimes the mother sees the baby's tongue as smooth as a mirror, and there is no tongue coating. This may indicate that the baby often has a fever, a cold or chronic diarrhea. At this time, the mother should give the baby some juice or cook some yam lotus porridge, and don't let the baby eat greasy things.
4. The baby's tongue is red
When the baby has an upper respiratory infection and a fever, this phenomenon will occur. Usually, babies also have the characteristics of hot palms and cold palms. At this time, mothers are advised to drink more water for their babies and eat less cold food. If the baby is too tall and continues to have fever, seek medical advice promptly.
When the baby's tongue has these conditions, mothers should pay more attention. However, we should pay more attention to the baby's health in peacetime. If there is any prominent abnormality, you should seek medical attention in time, and don't miss the best treatment time.
