What should I do if my baby's throat is a little red?

The baby's throat is a little red, which is a typical case of pharyngitis. Sometimes it is because the child talks too much and does not drink water, or it is caused by a cold. So after clarifying the cause, we know how to solve it effectively. If it is caused by a cold and cough, then we must pay attention to the treatment of the cold. In terms of diet, we must also pay attention to letting the child drink more water, rest more, and avoid eating spicy food.

1. Talking a lot and crying: This situation happens more often. Parents should try their best to calm the baby and avoid prolonged stimulation.

2. Cough (caused by cold air or inhalable particles in the morning): This problem can be solved by putting a mask on your baby before going out. It should be noted that the masks currently available on the market are relatively thin. After buying them, you can sew two layers of gauze on the inner layer to keep warm and prevent inhalable particles.

3. External stimulation: The child ate too cold, too hot or strong-tasting food the night before, which irritated the mucous membrane and caused it to not recover the next day. Because the baby's organs are relatively delicate, parents should try to choose authentic food for their children, and also control the temperature. 40℃ is the best. If you eat cold drinks, drink in moderation.

4. Red throat: Recall whether the humidity at home is insufficient and whether the baby has caught a cold, such as kicking off the quilt while sleeping, not changing clothes in time due to excessive sweating, not adding clothes in time when the temperature drops, etc., and adjust the above situations in time.

5. Red throat and thick tongue coating: If the baby's breath is not fresh and has a sour and rotten smell, it indicates that the baby's spleen and stomach function is not normal. Parents should pay attention to the diet. The child must not have a normal meal in kindergarten and then go home to eat again with the parents. During this period, the child's diet should be light, reducing the intake of meat, sweets, and fried foods. If the baby is hungry, he can eat some whole-grain porridge, vegetable salad (use yogurt instead of salad dressing), yogurt, and fruit (about 100 grams).

6. Red throat and constipation: It can be considered that the baby has internal heat, so it is important to keep the baby's bowel movements smooth at this time. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains that are rich in dietary fiber. In addition, the mother can massage the baby's belly: massage clockwise 10 times and then counterclockwise 10 times, alternating between these steps, to promote intestinal peristalsis. Increasing the child's exercise is also an effective method. If your child is severely constipated, it is recommended to consult a doctor and choose more symptomatic medication for treatment.
