Patient's question:
About half a month ago, the child was always snoring in his throat before taking a nap. A few days later, he said his throat hurt, so I took him to the children's hospital. They said it was pharyngitis. He took medicine for a week and had two injections. After finishing the treatment, he still snored, but he didn't say his throat hurt anymore. Then I took him to the county hospital, and they also said it was pharyngitis. They gave him medicine, but he still snored, and he also developed some small bumps on his body. I don't know if it's because of the cephalexin he took. Now I feel that it's not snoring in his throat, but snoring in his nose, because he now hesitates for a few seconds, sniffs, and swallows saliva every time he answers. What could be the problem?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that the baby's condition, such as snoring, is caused by rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy, as the medication for sore throat has not been stable. I recommend taking your child to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination, including a nasal endoscopy or nasopharyngeal X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. Then, treatment can be administered based on the situation. During this period, it is important to prevent your child from catching a cold, ensure they drink plenty of water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
