For babies it is good to use folk methods of treatment that will safely and gently contribute to basic therapy. But be sure to first consult with your doctor about any chosen method of home treatment.

A warm compress with a decoction of chamomile or calendula has a good effect. The compress can even be left for an hour and a half, while the baby is sleeping. Attention: if the redness of the throat is associated with swelling, warm compresses can not be set: they can contribute to the rapid development of edema of the laryngeal mucosa.

As a soft compress, you can also use warm, low-fat cottage cheese. This remedy warms up the throat well, and is safe.

It is good to give babies weak tea from chamomile, but only after this method is approved by the doctor. Chamomile is known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, besides it acts very gently and safely.

For an inflammatory infection( sore throat, pharyngitis, gingivitis), the child will be helped by Lizobakt( and here is the difference between Tharyngept and Lizobakt, described in this article).When infectious inflammation helps well Efizol. But appoint these drugs should only a doctor.

Irrigating a throat with appropriate sprays will be of great help. Not bad helps Ingalipt and other preparations of this kind. Attention: sprinkle the spray not directly into the baby's throat, but on the inside of his cheeks. This precaution is necessary so that the child does not choke on a liquid aerosol spray.

To soften an irritated mucous membrane, you can lubricate it with oily solutions of chlorophyllipt, sea buckthorn oil or eucalyptus oil. Oils of dogrose and propolis also perfectly suited. The composition is applied to the gauze tampon, which gently mucus throat is processed. But how correctly to apply Ingalipt spray for children, is described in this article.

Komarovsky's opinion

We learn what the famous doctor Komarovsky says about the treatment of the red throat in children.

The pediatrician claims that almost 90% of all cases of reddening of the throat in children are somehow connected with ARVI.However, a dry nose with a red throat means the onset of a bacterial infection such as angina or even diphtheria.

The doctor does not advise any independent diagnoses. And even more so, he is against the treatment prescribed for the child. Red throat can be caused by various diseases, so a competent doctor can prescribe a competent diagnosis.

As one of the most common causes of reddening of the child's throat Komarovsky calls too dry air indoors. Sometimes, when this external symptom is eliminated, the redness in the baby's throat also disappears. The doctor recommends using a humidifier in the children's room, considering this mechanism an invaluable assistant in the struggle for the excellent well-being of the child.

On the video of Dr. Komarovsky:

The doctor categorically does not advise to bring down the temperature, if it did not exceed 37 degrees. Even raising to 38 degrees is quite a natural physiological reaction of the body, which it is better not to interfere with. A noncritical rise in temperature speaks of the functioning immunity of the baby and that the protective forces of his body are not asleep. Of course, it is necessary to lower the temperature.

If the red throat is caused by the development of a bacterial infection in the body, it is strictly prohibited to treat the child with folk methods. And, moreover, to make them the main means, consider a panacea. Bacterial inflammatory processes are very serious, and fraught with serious complications. To eliminate them, you need to take antibiotics and have constant medical supervision.

General advice

For an ill child of any age( 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 years and older), bed rest is extremely important, and stay in a calm environment. It is necessary to exclude dish-stimuli from the baby's diet: too sweet, salty, sour, sharp.

The whole diet should be fresh and soft in consistency, so as not to obstruct swallowing. Forced feeding is not recommended: to maintain the body of food is required very little, and with a sore throat, any sip can deliver a child a lot of pain.
