Question

My child has many blisters in their throat. Over the past two years, they have been coughing whenever it gets cold, but they don’t feel anything otherwise. Will this condition disappear on its own? If treatment is needed, how should it be handled?

Answer

Based on your description, it is initially suspected to be pharyngeal blisteritis. It is recommended that you take your child to an otorhinolaryngology department for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can give your child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as lozenges for slow swallowing, and avoid eating spicy, greasy, and fried foods. Increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate water intake to reduce triggers. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
