Patient's question:
The baby has had pharyngitis for nearly two months. They have been taking medicine intermittently, but it hasn't improved. Today, their tonsils have started to inflame, and they are coughing severely with phlegm that they cannot cough up. Their temperature is 37.8°C. Please ask: Can the baby take a bath after just being discharged from the hospital for a cold?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, bathing is generally never likely to cause tonsillitis. It is recommended that you give the baby a bath, but be careful to prevent colds by avoiding getting chilled. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of water, and tie up their hair immediately after washing it. In addition to immediate treatment for tonsillitis, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for a full recovery. I hope the above answer is helpful to you. Thank you.
