What should I pay attention to when my 2-year-old baby has chronic pharyngitis?

In fact, the source of infection for patients with chronic pharyngitis in the past may be in the nasal cavity. For example, the patient's nasal cavity and nasopharynx are chronically infected. These infected bacteria will gradually spread to the throat mucosa, thereby causing chronic pharyngitis, making the patient unable to speak due to throat discomfort. Therefore, when chronic pharyngitis occurs, it is important to pay special attention to whether the child's nasal cavity is unobstructed, and whether pharyngitis is caused by long-term breathing through the throat due to nasal inflammation.

For patients with acute pharyngitis, during the illness, they should drink more boiled water and eat light and easily digestible food, such as noodles, lotus root powder, white rice porridge, fresh vegetables, etc. Cabbage, loofah, winter melon, watermelon, pear, cucumber, mung bean, and tofu have the effect of clearing heat and reducing annealing, and can be eaten more. Spicy, greasy, sticky, fried foods are not suitable for patients with acute pharyngitis, and fish and meat should not be eaten or should be eaten as little as possible. Another thing is that patients with acute pharyngitis generally should not take supplements. Considering the patient's weak physical condition, they can add some foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat.

Patients with chronic pharyngitis should eat foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, such as radish, cabbage, cucumber, melon, bitter spinach, winter melon, pear, banana, persimmon, loquat, apple, pineapple, lychee, sugarcane and other fruits and vegetables. You can also choose to eat more lean pork, duck, rabbit meat, pig lungs and other meats that nourish yin and moisten dryness. You can also eat some milk and eggs which have the effect of nourishing blood and moistening dryness. The best edible beans are mung beans, adzuki beans and black beans. Patients with chronic pharyngitis should also avoid eating spicy, warm and dry meats such as dog, lamb and sparrow meat. There are also some highly irritating foods containing peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, mustard, etc., as well as alcohol and iced drinks, which are not suitable for consumption. They will irritate the throat and cause discomfort to patients with chronic pharyngitis.

Some children may not have good physical adaptability, for example, they are more sensitive to changes in temperature or air humidity, or the quality of the air. In this case, if the throat is slightly stimulated by an adverse environment, chronic pharyngitis is likely to occur. At this time, adults should be careful not to let children eat spicy food, do not let children drink irritating beverages, and do not let children come into contact with dust or other harmful gases.
