What to do if your child has a red and swollen throat

Babies are very delicate. Nowadays, many children are prone to illness and have low immunity. When children are sick, they should not take medicine or have intravenous drips as often as adults, as this will cause great harm to the children's bodies. For example, if a child’s throat is red and swollen, which looks a bit like a cold but is not a particularly serious illness, many parents don’t know what to do. Here are some causes of a sore throat and how to deal with it.

reason:

Colds, tonsillitis, and inflammation of the throat can all cause redness and swelling of the throat, but they are ultimately attributed to viral or bacterial infections.

Cough (caused by cold air or inhalable particles in the morning): This problem can be solved by putting a mask on your baby before going out. It should be noted that the masks currently available on the market are relatively thin. After buying them, you can sew two layers of gauze on the inner layer to keep warm and prevent inhalable particles.

External stimulation: The child ate too cold, too hot or strong-tasting food the night before, which irritated the mucous membrane and caused it to not recover the next day. Because the baby's organs are relatively delicate, parents should try to choose authentic food for their children, and also control the temperature. 40℃ is the best. If you eat cold drinks, drink in moderation. Colds, tonsillitis, and inflammation of the throat can all cause redness and swelling of the throat, but they are ultimately attributed to viral or bacterial infections.

Gargle with salt water: Add a little salt to warm water, or use saline solution, and gargle every morning, noon and evening, which has a good effect.

Ribavirin: Ribavirin spray can be used according to the instructions.

Stomatitis spray: This is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation with a strong smell, and is more suitable for older children.

Pear: Boil some pear juice for your child, which has a good effect in relieving throat pain.

The above is the solution for children’s red and swollen throat. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Since children's immunity is relatively low, parents must keep them warm. Sometimes a child’s throat may become red and swollen due to crying for a long time. At this time, just let her drink more hot water and cook some throat-soothing soup for her.
