What to do if infants and young children have red and swollen throats

Newborns have very low immunity and their organs are not fully developed. It takes some time for them to adapt to this world after leaving the warm womb. Babies cannot speak yet, so parents can only rely on their performance to judge whether there are any emotional or physical problems. Newborns are relatively easy to take care of and they sleep most of the time. Many babies have hoarse voices when they cry, which means that the baby has a red and swollen throat. What should parents do at this time?

There are many reasons for a baby's red and swollen throat, the most common ones are bacterial or viral infections, or other types of pathogens causing upper respiratory tract infections. In treatment, it is often necessary to use effective antibiotics and some symptomatic treatment drugs in time. Your baby can first take some pediatric throat granules orally, and add azithromycin granules.

Most people's sore throats are caused by minor illnesses such as colds or tonsillitis. However, if your sore throat is particularly severe, serious enough to cause fever and difficulty swallowing, or if it lasts for a long time, more than two or three weeks, then the condition is often not just a simple cold or tonsillitis, but may be a sign of some serious illness, so you need to be alert.

First of all, throat inflammation is usually caused by coughing, and is often accompanied by a low fever, so it is best to pay attention and take anti-inflammatory and anti-tussive measures at the same time. Secondly, if your baby has an inflamed throat, be careful not to give him or her cold or sweet food. He or she should drink plenty of water, preferably light salt water, because salt water helps to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. Also, the rash may be caused by a fever caused by an inflammation of the throat. The fever will basically go away after a day or two. Please note that it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, because if the throat is inflamed for a long time, the voice will become hoarse, which is difficult to treat, and it will also affect the trachea. It is best to cure it as soon as possible.

In addition, make sure to give your baby more water, treat the disease thoroughly when it occurs, and be punctual for each medication. When the flu breaks out, do not take your child to public places to avoid infection. Babies have relatively low resistance, and their clothing should be similar to that of adults as the climate changes. You don't need to dress your baby too much, which will make him or her sick more easily. Ventilate the room frequently, bathe your child frequently, take your baby swimming if conditions permit, and strengthen exercise as it is very beneficial for your baby to enhance his or her immunity.
