What reason is tongue hair purple

summary

When the child has a cold and fever and goes to the hospital for examination, the first thing the doctor should do is to take the child's temperature, and another essential step is to look at the child's tongue. Because the tongue is closely related to internal organs, because children's food is relatively simple, and they don't smoke and drink, so external factors have little influence on their tongue color, tongue coating, etc., so many diseases will be reflected on the tongue. Some traditional Chinese medicine even think that it is more accurate to distinguish diseases by looking at the baby's tongue than feeling the pulse. So if you find that the child's tongue hair purple, must cause enough attention. Let's have a look.

What reason is tongue hair purple

First: the tongue of normal children is moist, thin and white, and the color of the tongue should be light pink, smooth, without cracks and granular protrusions. Sometimes if children eat oranges, olives, milk, tongue coating will have a short time of color change, this is a physical change caused by things, as a normal phenomenon, do not need to worry about, do not need treatment.

Second: the baby's tongue coating is purple. It is very likely that the child's blood circulation system has problems. When the child's blood circulation slows down and the body lacks oxygen, the baby's tongue coating will be purple. Another reason for this phenomenon is congenital cyanotic heart disease, which needs immediate treatment and cannot be delayed.

Third: the change of tongue coating can accurately reflect the child's physical condition. For example, when the tongue coating becomes thicker and greasy, there are nine times out of ten that the child's intestines and stomach have problems. If you carefully observe the child's diet, you will find that the child has eaten less, or has a rebellious mood when eating; But if the child's tongue coating becomes thicker and whiter at the same time, then the child must have a fever, and timely measures should be taken.
