In clinic, we must consider comprehensively the color, shape, thickness, moistening degree and color of children's tongue. Now I will talk about how the baby does not have tongue coating? Let me tell you this.
What reason is child without tongue coating?
First: Tongue Color: 1. Light red and moist tongue color: This is the normal tongue color, which is the image of Qi and blood harmony. 2. Pale tongue color: it indicates deficiency of Qi and blood, which is more common in children with weak spleen and stomach. Such babies often have poor complexion, loss of appetite, laziness and fatigue. 3. The color of tongue is bright red: it represents internal heat of excess heat or internal heat of yin deficiency. Baby or fever cough, phlegm sticky, or thirsty like to drink, dry stool, or night sweats and other phenomena. 4. Red and crimson tongue: it is often seen in the extreme stage of febrile disease, that is, the severe stage of febrile disease. It is often characterized by high fever for several days. At this time, it is not only characterized by hyperactivity of pathogenic heat, but also damage of Yin fluid in the body. In addition to fever, it is often accompanied by red and dry lips, sore throat, and yellow urine. 5. The color of tongue is blue and purple: it is the indication of qi stagnation and blood stasis, which is common in children with congenital heart disease.
Second: the quality and color of the tongue coating are related to the healthy tongue coating, which refers to a layer of coating on the surface of the tongue. According to traditional Chinese medicine, tongue coating is produced by the Qi of the spleen and stomach evaporating into turbid food in the stomach. Due to the strength of stomach qi and the cold and heat of pathogenic factors, various kinds of tongue coating are formed. When looking at tongue coating, we should pay attention to the change of coating quality and color. Fur quality refers to the texture and shape of tongue fur; Fur color refers to the color of tongue fur. 1. Healthy tongue coating - thin white and moist healthy tongue coating, through which tongue quality can be seen faintly, thin white and uniform, or slightly thick in the middle; Moist and moist, moderate dry and wet, not slippery and not dry. 2. Common baby's 5 abnormal fur quality: 1) thick fur: can't see the tongue quality through the tongue fur, more tips have accumulated food, phlegm dampness or viscera accumulation of heat. 2) Smooth fur: if the tongue surface is too much water, the tongue is ready to drop, and the touch is slippery and wet, it is the performance of water dampness and internal stagnation, that is, the body's water metabolism is out of balance. It is more common in babies with poor spleen and stomach function. At this time, babies often have more saliva, more stool frequency than normal, loose stool or unformed stool (except for more saliva when teething). 3) Greasy Moss: the moss is dense and small, like a layer of greasy mucus covering it. The most common manifestation is disharmony between the spleen and stomach, which is often seen in children with food accumulation, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and indigestion. 4) Exfoliated coating: the coating of the tongue falls off completely or partially, and the exfoliated part is smooth without coating, but the quality of the tongue is visible, which indicates that the deficiency of stomach qi, deficiency of stomach yin or deficiency of both qi and blood. 5) dry coating: the coating of the tongue is dry, lack of body fluid, and even the coating of the tongue is dry and cracked, which indicates that the body fluid has been injured. It is more common in babies with high fever, excessive sweating or vomiting and diarrhea.
Third: comprehensive moss quality, moss color to see baby health: for the baby, moss color changes are mainly white moss and yellow moss. The change of the color of the moss indicates the cold and heat of the disease, and the specific situation needs to be identified by combining the thickness and dryness of the moss. 1. Dampness and turbid internal stagnation - if the moss is white and greasy, it indicates that dampness and turbid internal stagnation or gastrointestinal stagnation. It is more common in babies with phlegm and dampness accumulation, food accumulation, weakness of spleen and stomach, and indigestion. It can show cough, white phlegm, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, vomiting, and indigestion. 2. There is heat accumulation inside the baby. The fur is dry, white or yellow and white. The fur is white and dry with little body fluid, indicating that there is heat accumulation inside the baby and the body fluid is insufficient; The change of tongue coating from white to yellow or the combination of yellow and white also indicates that there is heat in the body, which is often called "the baby is on fire". It is suggested to eat less high calorie, spicy and Yin damaging products, such as barbecue, fried and puffed food, chocolate, cheese, etc., and eat more vegetables and juicy fruits.
