Patient's question:
My baby is 50 days old. The past two days, her throat has been slightly red and swollen, and she's been playing with drool bubbles. What could be the reason? Should she take anti-inflammatory medication?First follow-up question: The doctor checked and said her throat is slightly red and swollen.
Second follow-up question: She also has some diarrhea, and the doctor prescribed Kentling to take for one day.
Doctor's answer:
A sore and swollen throat indicates mild inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. Once, my child had a swollen throat that wasn't suppressed by medication, leading to coughing and developing into capillary bronchitis, which eventually became pneumonia. It took ten days in the hospital to recover. If it's a bacterial infection, take some anti-inflammatory medication; if it's a viral infection, take Sypolium. When children catch a cold, their throats often become red, swollen, and inflamed, so they should take some anti-inflammatory medication. Also, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
