Causes of throat inflammation in babies Food accumulation turns into heat. This is the most common cause of throat inflammation in children. The spleen and stomach function of children is relatively weak, and it is easy to accumulate stagnation. If stagnation lasts for a long time, it will easily turn into heat and fire. Especially children who like to eat snacks, junk food, or are picky eaters who consume a large amount of high-protein, greasy food, or children who like to drink night milk before going to bed are most likely to accumulate food and turn into heat. When heat evil attacks the throat along the meridians, throat inflammation will occur, manifesting as sore throat, redness and swelling of the isthmus, enlarged tonsils and suppuration. In addition to throat inflammation, such children may also suffer from abdominal bloating, constipation, heavy breath, trouble sleeping at night, teeth grinding or sleeping on their stomachs, and recurrent oral ulcers. Children with weak constitutions have relatively poor resistance and are easily invaded by external evils. The first thing invaded by external wind-heat evil poisons is the throat, so children will suffer from repeated throat inflammation. Physical weakness is related to both congenital and acquired factors. Some children are born with weak constitutions due to reasons such as premature birth, while many more children have poor health due to improper feeding methods or improper medication by their parents, which has damaged the spleen and stomach, or due to the impact of diseases. Many parents think that their children\’s throat inflammation is due to excessive internal heat, and often use methods of clearing away heat and purging fire to deal with it.

In this case, it is not suitable to use cold and cool methods to reduce the heat. Inflammation due to deficiency fire is more common in children with weak constitution and excessive fire caused by yin deficiency. These children often take antibiotics every time they have a fever, or take cold and cooling medicines repeatedly for a long time, or suffer from chronic diarrhea or high fever. The child\’s body fluids are damaged and yin is consumed, and the child develops a constitution of yin deficiency and fire exuberance.
