What should I do if my baby has a sore throat and cannot speak?

Patient's question:

Nine-month-old baby has a sore throat and cannot spit out
Nine-month-old baby might have caught a cold two days ago. Last night while sleeping, I noticed a slight fever of 37.3°C. I gave her some children's acetaminophen, and the fever subsided, but her throat is still sore and she cannot spit out. The baby is uncomfortable and wants to cry. What kind of medicine should she take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, yes, it is mainly caused by inflammation due to upper respiratory tract infections. It is recommended to use some anti-inflammatory and mucolytic drugs in combination. Suggestions: If the cough is severe, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended, and the baby can inhale steam; moist air helps to clear mucus from the lungs and soothe coughing. Pay attention to care, give the baby plenty of water, and maintain fresh air. The room temperature should be appropriate. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
