Hello, my grandfather is very ill; he can’t even get out of bed. He is too weak, and his skin is yellow. He can’t even pronounce a whole word. I noticed on my last visit that his tongue is black, cracked and very dry. I gave him some water, but there wasn’t any change. Nobody is telling me what is going on, but I know that he is going to die. I am not that young that I don’t understand.
I don’t know what to say, but as physical examination of the body emphasis is on examination of the tongue and urine. The appearance of tongue-its color and texture, indicate on imbalance of something. The tongue of a healthy person is red, soft, moist and flexible, and people who are about to die have black, cracked and very dry tongue. I don’t want to indicate that, but try to explain your parents that you can handle the truth and that they should explain you your grandfather’s condition.
Dry tongue every time I eat ice. Why is that?
