How many days does the baby take anti-inflammatory medicine for a red throat?

Babies with red throats usually need to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for about 5 to 7 days, and the decision also depends on the severity of the individual condition.

If your baby has obvious throat pain, it may be caused by bacterial infection. Generally, some anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to improve the condition. They can effectively promote the disappearance of inflammation, inhibit the growth of bacteria and improve the sore throat. If the condition is more serious, the medication time may be prolonged. If it is mild redness and swelling, the general medication time will be shortened, and the treatment effect can be achieved in about 5 days. Remember to consult a doctor when taking the medicine.

Children are relatively young and are more susceptible to invasion by bacteria and viruses. There are many reasons for sore throats. You can go to the ENT department for a laryngoscopy. There may also be symptoms of difficulty swallowing or decreased appetite. It may also be chronic pharyngitis. In severe cases, you can use glucocorticoid nebulization inhalation to improve symptoms such as local congestion or edema of the mucosa.

Children should drink more warm water and eat more heat-clearing and detoxifying foods, such as dragon fruit, cucumber, watermelon, etc. During treatment, try not to eat spicy and irritating foods and avoid staying in a dry environment for a long time. You can place a humidifier in the room to maintain the indoor humidity.
