Question
What should be done if a child gets blisters on their tongue?
Answer
It is recommended to give the child some mung bean soup or porridge, as mung beans are cool in nature and sweet in taste, which can cool the body and expel toxins, and also has the effect of clearing heat and relieving restlessness. This is particularly suitable for children with irritable tempers and restless minds. Additionally, encouraging the child to eat more fruits, such as pomelos or pears, can be beneficial. These fruits are cool in nature with a slightly sour taste, which can clear heat and moisten the lungs, making them very suitable for children with lung heat, coughing up yellow sputum, and sore throat. Another good choice is water chestnuts, which are slightly cool in nature with rich juice. They are very suitable for children who have residual heat after a fever, feel restless and thirsty, have mouth ulcers, and have dry stools and yellow urine.
