The tongue is white or yellow, with a slow pulse or a number of strings.
2, because the nipple is soaked by the milk, resulting in pus-like white ulcers and tidal red erosion surface, so that the mother can not bear the pain when breastfeeding, like a knife cut. Sometimes the crack is deeper, which may cause bleeding, or the secretions in the gap are dry and crusted, causing dryness and pain. Because the nipple is broken and painful, the mother is not willing to breastfeed the baby, or the milk is not squeezed when the milk is squeezed, it is easy to cause local inflammation, and even form acute mastitis, which may also cause diarrhea or pseudo-black stool.
