How to treat my baby's sore throat when they are 4 months old?

Patient's question:

My baby hasn't stopped taking medicine for 4 months. They take it every day. They often have colds, sore throats, and blisters in their throats. What kind of tests should be done to find the cause, or should they just receive immune therapy?

Doctor's answer:

1-year-old babies' immunity is very important. Interfering with a baby's immunity is mainly diet. For example, if the baby loves snacks and doesn't eat dinner properly, it may lead to picky eating again, lack of trace elements in the body, and directly cause a decline in immunity. Additionally, excessive use of medication, especially antibiotics, is not advisable. For children, the use of antibiotics should generally not exceed 10 days, as prolonged use can disrupt the normal flora in the body and make it easier to catch diseases.
