What should I do if my child has a sore throat and fever?

I believe many mothers are worried about their baby’s sore throat. In fact, baby's sore throat is mostly caused by a cold. As the weather changes, you should add or remove clothes for the baby appropriately, let the baby drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits, and do not let the baby be picky about food. You can let your baby eat more pears. Pears can relieve coughs, moisten the lungs, and are very beneficial for sore throats. Below are some methods that the editor has collected to deal with baby’s sore throat and fever. Let’s take a look.

1. Boil rock sugar and pear water to drink.

2. Make some honeysuckle tea.

3. If you have a slight fever, put ice cubes in the refrigerator on your forehead, or rub the palms and soles of your feet with shochu to cool down physically.

It is best not to eat fruits that are too sweet, such as apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc. when you have inflammation. Among fruits, pears and watermelons are the most suitable. Eating rock sugar or pear stewed with Fritillaria and rock sugar is a common dietary therapy for treating sore throat, but it must be taken at the right time under the guidance of a doctor. Because overly sweet foods can increase heat and aggravate inflammation. As a diet therapy, you can also use foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the lungs, such as japonica rice, white fungus, black fungus, white radish, lily, ginkgo, gecko, polygonatum, and coix seed.

When a child has a sore throat, it is often accompanied by a loss of appetite. You should pay more attention to the types of food and cooking methods to suit the child's preferences and stimulate his appetite. Fresh vegetables such as green vegetables, cabbage, radish, carrots, tomatoes, etc. can provide a variety of vitamins and organic salts, which are beneficial to the recovery of the body's metabolic function. Soy products contain high-quality protein, which can replenish the tissue protein lost by the body due to inflammation, and does not have the disadvantage of increasing phlegm and dampness. Therefore, you can add a small amount of lean meat and protein appropriately. The dishes should be light in taste and avoid being too salty. Try to steam or boil instead of frying or stewing. The staple food is rice and miscellaneous grains, which should be consumed according to the usual amount to maintain a balanced nutrition and improve the body's resistance.
