Babies before the age of half generally have weaker resistance, and even a slight external stimulus can cause some abnormal physical conditions. Common symptoms include vomiting milk, belching, diarrhea, bloating, and redness of the throat, which require parents to promptly detect and treat. So, what's going on with a 5-month-old baby's red throat?
The five month old baby's throat redness should first be considered to be tonsillitis caused by cold germs. If it is in the prevalent season of influenza, plus taking the baby to crowded places and contacting people with colds, it is likely to be infected. When tonsillitis, tracheitis and other diseases occur, the throat will become red due to congestion in the throat.
Of course, internal heat can also cause redness in the baby's throat. If the baby drinks less water or has a hot constitution due to dry air, they are more prone to internal heat and may also show symptoms such as oral herpes. Finally, herpetic pharyngitis can also cause symptoms of redness in the throat. This viral infection can cause swelling and congestion in the throat, resulting in redness.
Regardless of the reason, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination, and other symptoms of the body need to be combined to make a judgment. If the baby's throat is red, feels pain and cries, parents can feed the baby some water appropriately to relieve the pain. If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother must not touch stimulating foods to avoid affecting the baby through breastfeeding.
