What Causes Recurring Throat Infections And Fever?
hi Doc, My 33 month old babby gets throat infection almost every month which is accompanied by high fevers that make him convulse sometimes. sponging does not help much neither does paracetamol for the first two days. What could be wrong? What can i do to prevent these infections or reduce the temperature when he has an infection?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of recurring throat infections and fever which could be due to untreated respiratory tract infection and due to impaired immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on neck externally. Take paracetamol for fever. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin along with anti inflammatory and antipyretic . Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
