Children have a fast metabolism, and if they are not given timely heat dissipation, they are prone to catching fire. In the long run, children are prone to developing pharyngitis, which requires attention. If not treated in a timely manner, children may have a fever because of inflammation in the throat, which can also affect their diet. Next, let's learn about how to deal with pharyngitis in one year old babies.
What to do if a one year old baby has pharyngitis
1. Pay attention to rest: take sufficient rest and drink plenty of water.
2. Pay attention to fever reduction: If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, use physical methods to cool down in a timely manner, such as wiping the forehead with a warm and damp towel. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, appropriate fever reducing agents can be taken.
3. Pay attention to the condition: If you experience high fever, ear pain, worsening cough, difficulty breathing, drowsiness, etc., go to the hospital in a timely manner.
4. Do not misuse antibiotics: there are no complications such as otitis media or pneumonia, and it is not recommended to use antibiotics.
5. Eat more fruits and dried fruits such as pears, raw radishes, and preserved plums to enhance the maintenance of the throat.
Can pediatric pharyngitis be contagious
Pediatric pharyngitis is generally caused by bacterial or viral infections and is not contagious. Infantile laryngopharyngitis is not infectious in normal contact. It is usually caused by inhaling too much productive dust, trauma, allergy and other reasons, and the incidence rate is relatively high. In daily life, it is still important to pay more attention to environmental hygiene, rest, and take the baby for appropriate physical exercise.
If a one year old baby is fed formula milk, it is best to give them water two or three times a day, not too much, which can accelerate the child's excretion. For babies with pharyngitis, it is mostly caused by internal heat. In terms of complementary foods, some measures can be taken to give the child some pears. Boiled pears are not harmful to the gastrointestinal tract and will not have any side effects.
