Question
A newborn is 50 days old and has had a slightly red and swollen throat for the past few days, accompanied by diarrhea. Recently, the baby often plays with saliva bubbles. What could be the cause of this? Do you need to use anti-inflammatory medication?
Answer
The symptom of spitting out saliva bubbles from the mouth at night may be one of the symptoms of pediatric pneumonia. Immediate examination is required to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment; do not self-medicate. It is recommended to breastfeed, provide a balanced diet for the baby, enhance nutrition, keep warm, and prevent colds. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
