Why does a baby's throat get inflamed

Patient's question:

The baby has recurrent high fever. We gave her fever-reducing medicine, but the fever still persists even after the effect wears off. Could it be that the sore throat is caused by indigestion?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: The children's medicine Raloxifene was ineffective.
What kind of help is desired: What is the cause of the baby's sore throat? Is it related to indigestion?

Doctor's answer:

At this stage, the immune system of young children is not yet fully developed. Therefore, they are easily susceptible to various external pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Common respiratory diseases include upper respiratory infections, which can progress to pneumonia in severe cases. Common infectious causes include viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and others. As a result, a sore throat is generally contagious. Antibiotic or antiviral treatment may be necessary. Child nutrition is also very important, and digestive system diseases are common. However, they are not the direct main cause of a sore throat.
