What should I do if my child has a red, swollen throat and a fever?

Children are the most beloved treasures for every parent. Therefore, once a child has any minor illness in early summer, we as parents will be very anxious. For example, if the child's throat is red and swollen or the child has a fever, we should first observe the child's fever and choose physical cooling for the child as soon as possible. Secondly, we should quickly choose anti-inflammatory drugs for the baby's throat. Let's learn first what we should do specifically.

1 Of course, you should reduce the fever first. Physical fever reduction is the first choice. Try a fever-reducing patch.

2 If the throat is red and swollen, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. If you want to improve your baby's immunity, please refuse to feed your baby high-fat, high-sugar refined processed foods.

3 Eat more natural foods, including vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals.

4 Whole grains contain germ and polysaccharides, and are rich in vitamins B and E. These antioxidants can enhance immunity and strengthen the function of immune cells.

Suggestions: 1. Fever indicates inflammation in the body. It is recommended to check the routine blood test to see if it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection so as to prescribe the right medication. In addition, if the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, oral antipyretics should be taken to avoid high fever convulsions caused by excessive temperature. If the temperature is between 37.5-38.4 degrees, physical cooling can be adopted, such as wiping with warm water or alcohol, placing a cool towel on the forehead, etc.

2 Use anti-inflammatory or antiviral drugs. Only when the inflammation subsides can the body temperature return to normal, otherwise the fever will recur.

3. If the baby's throat is red and swollen, he will not have much appetite for food. Cook some very soft porridge or noodles. Try to make them flavorful, but not too salty. Do not eat food that may irritate the inflamed area.

4. The main thing is to give your baby more water. If he is uncomfortable or doesn't like to drink plain water, you can add some rock sugar or fruit juice to dilute it for your baby to drink. But be careful not to add too much sugar. Just add some flavor to the plain water you usually drink. Wait until the inflammation subsides.

When a child has a red and swollen throat and fever, the first thing to do is to make the child's diet as light as possible, the second thing to do is to cool the child down, and then pay attention to the redness and swelling of the child's mouth. If there is no improvement after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, it is best to go to the hospital in time. Secondly, do not feed high-protein foods to avoid worsening fever. Drink more water and eat more fruits. Do not let your child wear too many clothes.
