Should treatment be given if a baby plays with saliva and bubbles?

Patient's question:

My baby is 50 days old. The past two days, her throat was a bit red and swollen, and she had some diarrhea. These days, she often plays with bubbles of saliva. What could be the reason? Should she take some anti-inflammatory medication?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms such as drooling foam while sleeping at night may be considered as possible symptoms caused by infant pneumonia. It is important to undergo timely examination to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Avoid using medication blindly.
Suggestions:
Timely examination to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment is recommended. Promote breastfeeding, ensure proper feeding for the baby, enhance nutrition, prevent colds by keeping warm, and avoid exposure to cold. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
