Patient's question:
The baby, at 42 days old, has a sore throat and is reluctant to nurse, which might be caused by stomach issues. When feeding, they often choke badly.Doctor's answer:
The child only has discomfort in the throat and doesn't need to take antibiotics. If antibiotics are used, it's best to use cephalexin granules for children. The key is that the mother must always maintain good health, without fever or inflammation. Medication is generally not needed for the child's "internal heat."The doctor asked: "Do you have any fever symptoms?" Canker sores in the throat cannot be seen with the naked eye. When feeding, the child must always be kept in a slightly upright position. It is not possible to lay the child across the chest, as the child's stomach is naturally horizontal. If the child is fed while lying horizontally, it can easily lead to choking and spilling milk.
The above advice is for the question "Baby at 42 days with canker sores in the throat and unwilling to nurse—could it be due to internal heat?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
