Question 1: What should I do if my child has oral ulcers? Dr. Yang Yafeng answered: For ulcers in children, we must first distinguish whether it is thrush, oral ulcers, herpes, etc. If it is just an oral ulcer that seriously affects your diet, you will need hospitalization for infusion treatment. If it is not that serious, topical drugs can be given, such as stomatitis spray, oral ulcer powder, etc. It can also be combined with oral heat-clearing and detoxifying oral liquids, such as Lanqin oral liquid. If it is a recurring oral ulcer, it is recommended to take Chinese medicine orally. Nowadays, there are granules that can be taken directly, and medicines that clear away heat, detoxify and cool blood are given. For specific medicines, you need to go to the hospital to see, smell, and consult before giving a prescription. If you have thrush, which looks like white membrane ulcers all over your mouth, you need to be treated with antifungal drugs. If it is herpes, which looks like a blister with a white center and redness around it, this is a viral infection and can be treated with antiviral drugs. If you want to get better quickly, use topical drugs and internal drugs at the same time. Question 2: My baby is three years old and has very coarse stools, once every two days, and the stools are very dry and come in grains. The baby says his butt hurts when he poops, but there is no bleeding. The baby seldom eats vegetables and is very picky about fruits. He drinks 400 ml of milk and two to three glasses of water every day. How can it be improved? Dr. Sun Cuiying answered: Children have different defecation habits. Not every child can do it once a day. As long as the child has smooth bowel movements and the child has no discomfort, two days is fine. However, if your child complains of pain when pooping, you can observe whether there is an anal fissure near the child\’s anus. If there is any suggestion, apply some erythromycin eye ointment to the child. The child\’s diet is okay, but he still needs to eat more vegetables to promote defecation. It is recommended to develop the habit of defecation regularly for your child every day, and rub the baby\’s belly clockwise in conjunction with this. Question 3: My baby is three and a half years old. His tonsils are purulent. He started having a fever yesterday afternoon, with the highest temperature being over 39 degrees. The fever went away after taking the medicine and immediately started to burn again. Even after taking a small injection today, the fever still recurred. Ask how to do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: If it is determined that the child’s tonsils are suppurated, you can take cefadroxil tablets, compound Houttuynia cordata, Xiaoer Chai Gui Antipyretic Granules, and spray Throat Sword Spray. Drink plenty of water and eat light and easy-to-digest foods these days. Generally, in this case, the child will have a fever for about 3-4 days.
