Throat medications

Tablets for children with inflammation and sore throat

Symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections are very painful and especially poorly tolerated by children. The child's immune system is still too weak, so viruses and bacteria most often attack children’s organisms. A sore throat is a manifestation of an inflammatory process in the mucous membrane, during which children cry and often refuse to eat. It is very difficult even for an adult to endure this painful period. A sore throat can be a symptom of dangerous diseases and, in order to ascertain the cause, it is important not to postpone a visit to the pediatrician.

As evidenced by the red throat

Modern pharmacy offers a wide range of topical treatments that have an analgesic effect and reduce the intensity of concurrent symptoms. Lozenges and lozenges can be given to children aged 5-6 years. A young child may accidentally choke on the drug or swallow it without dissolving. Delicious and bright tablets remain the most demanded medicines in children.

The purpose of any therapy is to identify and correct the impact on the focus of the underlying disease. It can be difficult to figure out why a child has a red throat, since many different infections settle on the mucous membrane of the throat. You need to contact a therapist or otolaryngologist. He will help diagnose the cause and prescribe appropriate throat medications.

Causes of a sore throat in children:

  • acute respiratory viral infections;
  • influenza virus;
  • inflammation of the larynx mucosa (laryngitis);
  • inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa (pharyngitis);
  • acute tonsillitis (tonsillitis);
  • scarlet fever;
  • diphtheria lesion of the larynx;
  • monocytic tonsillitis;
  • "Flying viruses" (measles, chickenpox, rubella);
  • inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis);
  • the appearance of new teeth;
  • allergy;
  • gastrointestinal diseases;
  • chronic tonsillitis.

Associated symptoms:

  1. No temperature. This is a symptom of a mild form of acute respiratory infections or the result of hypothermia.
  2. With a high body temperature: the fever is difficult to bring down, the lymph nodes are inflamed and sore with slight pressure, plaque forms on the tonsils. These are all signs of a viral, fungal, or bacterial infection.
  3. "Loose throat" (the tissue of the tonsils is uneven, namely loose) is a sign of tonsillitis. If the "loose throat" is not accompanied by symptoms of acute respiratory infections, this indicates a chronic inflammatory process in the pharynx.
  4. Enlarged tonsils. This symptom indicates an overload of the child's immune system while visiting public places.
  5. Frequent throat diseases indicate a weak resistance of the child's body in the fight against microbes, a reduced immune system and, possibly, the development of chronic tonsillitis. Frequent inflammation in the tonsils means chronic diseases of the nasopharynx (adenoids, sinusitis) or teeth.
  6. Mucus is a sign of inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory organs, dust allergies, or new tooth growth. By the color of the mucus, you can determine the type of pathogen: yellow or green is typical for a bacterial infection, white for a fungal infection, transparent with white veins for a viral infection.

It is very difficult to make a diagnosis on your own. The probability of making a mistake is too high and is fraught with the development of serious complications. Do not experiment with children's health, seek advice from an otolaryngologist in time.
