What to do if throat inflammation is accompanied by cough

The throat is a very important part of the body. It controls the function of our swallowing system and determines whether the body is healthy. Many people's throats often get sick and inflamed, especially children who have poor body resistance, which can easily lead to throat inflammation. Inflammation caused by the throat is mostly due to viral infection and bacterial inflammation. Patients will experience sore throat, cough with sputum, and enlarged adenoids. For throat inflammation in infants and young children, you should drink more water, supplement vitamins, and use foot soaking, exercise and massage to relieve throat pain. You should also pay attention to controlling your body for a more convenient and healthy life.

Why do children have sore throats ?

1. Getting angry. Eating irritating foods can easily cause sore throat, especially for people with damp-heat constitution.

2. Viral infection. The common cold, influenza, laryngitis, mumps, herpetic pharyngitis, etc. can easily cause sore throat.

3. Bacterial infection. Tonsillitis, epiglottitis, streptococcal pharyngitis, uvulitis, etc. can also cause sore throat.

4. External stimuli. When the seasons change, some people are not used to the temperature changes. In addition, the air is relatively dry in winter, and the moisture on the surface of the upper respiratory tract mucosa is easily lost, so they often feel dry nose, mouth and skin. When dryness prevails, it will lead to pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Air pollution and prolonged mouth breathing can also easily cause sore throats.

5. Others. Esophageal reflux disease, chronic fatigue, etc. can also cause sore throat.

What to do if your baby has a sore throat

1. Parents often say that their children are getting "heaty", which actually means internal heat. For throat inflammation caused by this situation, you can let the children eat some cold fruits such as watermelon, banana, pear, kiwi, etc. You can also boil bitter melon water for your child to drink. Take about 10 slices and put them in a pot, add a bowl of water, cook it on low heat until it becomes half a bowl of water, and give it to the child twice. It is very effective! This should be considered a dietary anti-inflammatory drug!

2. Parents can also soak their children's feet in hot water for 20-30 minutes, and then give them a foot massage. First, rub the soles of the feet 50 times each, and then pinch the 10 toes 20-30 times each. The most important thing is to massage the tonsil reflex area at the base of the child's big toe. As long as the child has a sore throat, the child will definitely feel pain when pressing this area. Find the pain point and press it for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, and the child's throat pain will definitely be relieved!

3. In fact, if a child gets sick, there must be reasons for improper care by the parents! For example, sleeping with arms outside at night, often barefoot, or sitting directly on the floor, or often eating cold fruits, if you also like to eat fish, it is easier to suffer from various head and facial diseases, such as chronic tonsillitis, chronic rhinitis, etc.! Therefore, the Mother and Baby College (WeChat ID: muyingxueyuan) recommends that parents must pay attention to not let their children catch cold, and eat more neutral and warm foods!

Note:

When your child has a sore throat, make sure he or she drinks plenty of water. You can also add some salt and drink some light salt water! The food should also be as soft as possible. Do not eat spicy food! Get enough sleep, exercise more, and get more contact with nature! Pharyngitis can cause symptoms of dryness, pain, and itching in the throat. It is recommended to go to the hospital's ENT department for examination to confirm the condition.
