What to do if your child's throat is red, swollen and inflamed

Children's physical constitution is inherently fragile, and they often experience symptoms such as redness, swelling and inflammation of the throat. There are many possible reasons for the redness, swelling and inflammation. First of all, parents should observe what symptoms their baby has, whether they have coughs or low-grade fever symptoms. Generally speaking, throat inflammation is caused by coughing. Only when you know what causes the redness, swelling and inflammation of the throat can you proceed to the next step of treatment.

Most of the time, children's sore throats are caused by minor illnesses such as colds or tonsillitis. Summer is the peak season for colds, but if your throat is severely red, swollen and inflamed, to the point where you have a fever and have 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. If conditions permit, you can go to the hospital for treatment in time.

So how should we prevent children’s throats from becoming red, swollen and inflamed? First of all, strengthening physical exercise can enhance children's ability to resist respiratory infections. It is recommended to carry out "three baths" (sun bath, air bath, water bath) exercise. Long-term three-bath exercise can not only enhance the physique of susceptible children, but also have a good effect on various systems of the body. When doing three-bath exercise, attention should be paid to the principles of gradual progress, adapting to local conditions, starting from an early age, and persisting frequently. Secondly, pay attention to the "microclimate" in the room, and ventilate regularly. When the concentration of harmful substances in the atmosphere exceeds a certain level, it can reduce the body's resistance and prevent passive smoking. Finally, arrange your child's daily schedule reasonably and ensure they get enough sleep.

Throat redness, swelling and inflammation in children is not a particularly serious disease and can be avoided with more prevention in daily life. After all, children's physical constitution is relatively weak and cannot be compared with adults. If such symptoms have already appeared, do not ignore them, because every small symptom is the prerequisite for causing a serious illness. As parents, we have the unshirkable responsibility to take good care of our children.
