What should I do if my tongue coating turns yellow and my mouth becomes dry

Yellow tongue coating and dry mouth are not uncommon, especially for people who often lack sleep, are mentally tense, and overly tired. Therefore, you must pay attention to clearing heat and reducing fire, drink more water and more heat-clearing soup.

1. Yellow tongue coating is a sign of intestinal dirt congestion and accompanied by bad breath, which is caused by fecal reefs. You have internal deficiency and stomach fire. If there are tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, it means that the spleen is not in good condition. If you lack sleep, are nervous, and are tired, bad breath will also be aggravated.

2. Drink some intestinal cleansing tea or soak rhubarb in water to clean the intestines first, then eat some nutritious things such as red meat, eggs, dates, etc. Drink more water, drink more fire-clearing soup, and eat some vitamin B2. Avoid eating raw, cold, irritating, smelly (such as garlic, onions, leeks, stinky tofu, etc.) and indigestible, greasy (high-protein, high-fat) foods. Chew slowly when eating, eat more vegetables, fruits and beans. Drink some honey water one hour before going to bed. Quit smoking and drinking in life; the diet should be relatively light.

3. Keep a happy mood, don't worry or get angry often, which will make you get angry and aggravate your condition. Pay attention to regular work and rest time, and exercise regularly to strengthen intestinal peristalsis.

4. Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth carefully every day, whether you wake up in the morning, before going to bed or after meals. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth. Do not use the toothbrush to directly brush the tongue coating. It is recommended that you buy a toothbrush that brushes the front of the teeth and the back of the tongue coating.
