  Parents should first do a good job in comforting their babies. If the child is uncomfortable, they may become restless and cry, which may worsen respiratory distress and airway obstruction. It is important to take care of pharyngitis by talking less, crying less, and letting the vocal cords rest. Therefore, parents should do a good job in comforting their children.

  It is generally not recommended to self medicate babies. Parents are advised to administer cough suppressants to their babies under the guidance of a doctor. Babies can be treated with nebulization therapy. During the nebulization process, it is best for babies to maintain a relaxed upright sitting position or a semi sitting position. Parents should pay attention to their baby's complexion, reactions, and consciousness. Once abnormal reactions occur, nebulization should be stopped immediately and corresponding measures should be taken. After nebulization, the medication on the face should be washed off in a timely manner, and the baby should rinse their mouth with physiological saline or warm water.

  In addition, to keep the air in the baby's room moist and fresh, a humidifier can be placed with a relative humidity controlled at around 65%. The baby's diet should also be adjusted accordingly. Choose liquid or semi liquid food, such as rice porridge, Noodles in soup, etc. Don't eat spicy, fried, dry and hard food.

  Parents should also pay close attention to the changes in their baby's condition, as some acute infectious diseases such as measles, chickenpox, scarlet fever, etc. often have symptoms similar to acute pharyngitis in the early stage. Pay attention to whether there are characteristic rashes on the oral mucosa and skin, and whether there are bayberry tongue like changes on the tongue after 1-2 days of the baby's fever. If any of the above symptoms occur, take the baby to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
