How to quickly eliminate thick white tongue coating in babies? Breastfeeding people should consider this reason first…

The problem is that the tongue coating of a baby less than two months old is a bit thick, his face is not white, and his face is a bit yellow. He keeps sticking out his tongue in the past two days and keeps crying at night. Is it because of the milk powder? Also, does a baby who is over one month old need any supplements? Dr. Wang Yanli’s answer: For breastfed children, if milk deposits on the tongue coating, you will see a white layer on the surface of the tongue coating. This does not necessarily mean that the child has accumulated food that cannot be digested. You can use a spoon to feed a few mouthfuls of warm water after each feeding to rinse the mouth, and you can also swallow it. Clean it for a few days and observe it. If the milk stains are reduced, the problem of food accumulation and indigestion will no longer be considered. If you have been feeding with this kind of milk powder for a while, the problem of tongue sticking out and crying should not be caused by the milk powder. Tongue sticking out may be related to dry mouth and throat discomfort. You can drink warm water to rinse your mouth and observe. Crying at night is related to lack of vitamin D, poor calcium absorption, sweating while sleeping, overeating or hunger. You can rule them out one by one. If you have a yellow face, you should pay attention to whether it is anemia. Physiological anemia will occur within one or two months after birth. Generally, no intervention or treatment is needed, and it will slowly return to normal. Vitamin D supplementation needs to be started two weeks after birth, but not otherwise. Question 2: The baby is one year and four months old. He had a runny nose for the past two days and took pediatric acetaminophen and xantamine granules. I had a cough tonight and there was phlegm in my throat. It is normal to drink milk powder. My body temperature is basically normal. Sometimes I may have a low fever. If I have a fever, should I add some ibuprofen? Or go to the hospital for a checkup? Is it okay to go to the hospital at this time? Dr. Yang Yafeng answered: Pediatric acetaminophen and xanamine is a compound preparation (with multiple active ingredients), and there is a risk of overdose. Therefore, it is not recommended to give compound preparations to children under 4 years old. Try not to take this medicine in the future. Now it is recommended to take some medicine to relieve cough and reduce phlegm, such as Xiaoer Dingchuan Oral Liquid, Feili Ke Mixture, Xuanfei Zhike Granules, etc. You can also use atomization treatment. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can drink ibuprofen. If the temperature is not too high, you can drink more water or soak your feet in warm water. The epidemic situation is severe now. It is not recommended for children whose condition is not serious to go to the hospital to avoid exposure to infection when going out. Question 3: My baby is six and a half months old. His tongue was rotten last night for no reason. I don’t know if it was because the food burned his tongue during dinner or for some other reason. What medicine should I use for the wound in his mouth? Dr. Cui Lixia\’s answer: If it doesn\’t exist elsewhere, it may be due to burns. You can rub iodine glycerin or spray the throat opener. You can spray it for two days and see. It can usually be cured in a week without intervention.
