Question
The baby has been scratching its ears for no apparent reason in recent days. What is baby pharyngitis?
Answer
Hello, baby pharyngitis may be caused by a viral infection and typically presents with symptoms such as sore throat, fever, and runny nose. For babies, this condition can cause discomfort and pain. It is recommended to use the Shuangxiu Frost spray topically to alleviate the baby’s pain. Additionally, provide your child with a light diet, encourage plenty of water intake, and avoid sugary or acidic foods. In some cases, intravenous treatment may be necessary for a few days. It is advisable to take your child to the hospital for a throat examination and to take Qingkailing capsules orally for treatment. Meanwhile, avoid feeding your child spicy or irritating foods and ensure they drink plenty of water.
