Understanding & Treating Sore Throat in Babies and Toddlers
While a sore throat is the most common childhood complaint, it can become very frustrating for babies, toddlers and their parents. It can be accompanied by crying, crankiness, tiredness, an inability to eat or talk properly, and even breathing problems.
A sore throat is a visitor that is never welcome.
While in general, it is not a very serious complaint, it is important to know more about what causes it, and how to take care of your child when they are suffering from one.

What is Sore Throat?
Sore throat is a common condition that affects people all around the world, including babies. It is the feeling of uneasiness in the throat because the mucous lining is inflamed or aggravated. Babies who are affected with sore throats generally cough a lot and will be in a very cranky and upset mood because of this.
Throat Infection in Babies and Toddlers
A sore throat in infants and babies is one of the most common childhood ailments. Its causes can be many, but it is mainly attributed to a common cold or flu virus attacks. Other more serious illnesses like measles, chickenpox and croup - all viral conditions - can also cause a sore throat.
Whooping cough is a less common cause of throat irritation.
In most of these illnesses, there is bacterial or viral baby throat infection which primarily or secondarily irritates the mucous lining of the throat and upper respiratory tract. Babies frequently contract a sore throat during teething, an attack of thrush, gingivostomatitis (combination of gingivitis and stomatitis), or hand, foot, and mouth disease.
A throat infection in infants can also be caused by allergies triggered by pollen from plants and flowers, smoke at home (both cooking fumes and tobacco), dust mites, and cat or dog dander. This condition is called allergic rhinitis.
When a child is suffering from a sore throat, he can find it difficult to swallow and experience pain and a scratchy sensation in the throat. He may also sore and swollen lymph glands under the hinge of the jaw, swollen tonsils with redness, white patches or pus and/or a hoarse throat.
Is Sore Throat Contagious?
This generally depends on the cause of the sore throat. If a sore throat is caused by teething or if the baby has gingivostomatitis, thrush, or hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is less likely to be contagious.
A sore throat caused by allergies is also not contagious, though the other members of the family may be equally sensitive to the same allergens as the baby and can suffer allergic symptoms at the same time. In most cases, however, they do not contract it from the baby.
If the cause is a bacterial or viral infection, the sore throat can definitely be contagious. The contagion can spread by way of contact with infected mucous and can be transmitted from person to person. Mucus, nasal discharge as well as saliva contain viruses or bacteria which can cause sore throat. Activities like kissing the baby, handling the baby or wiping the baby’s nose and not washing your hands afterwards can spread the contagion.
Young children living with the baby are more susceptible to contracting the infection. Adults in general are less susceptible to contracting a sore throat from their baby since their immune response has already handled the infection that the baby is suffering from. It is important to clean objects like towels, brushes and clothing after the illness so that the infected matter does not linger and attack again.
Symptoms of Sore Throat in Babies
A throat infection in babies and toddlers is, in general, a symptom of an underlying infection or bodily reaction that is triggering it. The sore throat has a few characteristic symptoms which can help a parent to narrow down the source of the infection.
An inability to feed: In babies, the sore throat will cause an inflammation of the mucous membranes, and swallowing food and even saliva will cause irritation and pain. The baby may cry and refuse to feed even when hungry, due to the pain
Redness of the throat: The mucous lining of the throat may be inflamed. This is difficult to observe in babies and infants. Toddlers can be led to a bright place and asked to open their mouth to see the condition of the throat, and determine whether there are any more symptoms like sores, yellow coating on the tongue and swollen tonsils, all of which can indicate specific ailments which are causing the sore throat
Swollen lymph glands: An infectious sore throat may present with swollen lymph glands, a sign that the body is fighting the infection
Irritable and restless child: The infection and the inability to feed make the baby irritable and restless. The irritability and restlessness is frequently compounded by lack of sleep and hunger
Fever: Depending on the infection which causes the sore throat, fever in varying degrees may be present
Bad breath: The baby, unable to feed without pain, will have a dry mouth and consequent bad breath. This is noticed more in cases of gingivostomatitis, thrush, or hand, foot, and mouth disease
The strep throat symptoms in toddlers are red and white patches in the throat and enlarged tonsils. This leads to difficulty in swallowing. There may be a fever, tender or swollen glands lymph nodes, headache, and a pain in the stomach
Causes of Sore Throat in Babies and Toddlers
There is a host of reasons for your little one's sore throat. The most common reasons are:
Common Cold: Common or not, when your child has a cold, it can be miserable in the week that it visits. A stuffy nose, sore throat, phlegm in the throat and nose, headaches and fever - usually under 101 F - all contribute to the general malaise and irritation of this attack on the respiratory tract
Flu: A flu attack, is, in general, more serious than a cold, and the child may develop a high fever, have mucous running from the nose and throat, headaches, and body and muscle pains. The fever and muscle aches usually last only the first 2 to 4 days, but the attendant cough and tiredness can continue for up to a week or more
Strep throat: This is a common bacterial infection which babies and toddlers are susceptible to, the symptoms of which include inflammation, redness and swelling in the throat and tonsils. This condition can be painful and makes eating, swallowing and talking difficult
Viral Infections: Chicken pox, croup, measles, gingivostomatitis, and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) are all viral infections that can affect a baby or a toddlerThese infections vary in their contagiousness, and their symptoms include:
Red spots and blisters around the baby’s mouth and in the throat
Rashes on the baby’s hands and feet
Red spots or rashes on the baby’s hips and other private parts
Irritation
Inability to feed in spite of hunger
Since these symptoms may indicate an infection which is difficult to treat without medical advice, it is better to see a doctor if they are present.
Allergies: The nascent immune response of the baby can frequently take umbrage at common pollutants like dust, pet dander, smoke, cooking fumes and paint fumes. If the allergic response is extreme, i.e., presenting with visible swelling of the eye, difficulty in breathing and excessive mucous secretion, immediate medical care is required and the child must be kept away from the allergen in the future. A mild allergic response should be accepted as part of the growing pangs of any baby.
Treatment Options
Here are a few remedies for a baby sore throat treatment:
Provide nourishment and comfort
Seek medical help if additional symptoms like a high fever and earache are also present
Offer smaller, more frequent feeds
Turn on a humidifier or sit in the bathroom with hot water to make the air warm and humid to soothe the throat irritation
Toddlers can be given mouthwashes or warm water with salt or turmeric to gargle with if you’re wondering what to give a child with sore throat
Give popsicle throat lozenges to suck on as an effective sore throat treatment for toddlers
Sore throat remedies for toddlers can include an anaesthetic or antiseptic throat gargle if the child can be trusted to not swallow it
Diagnosing Sore Throat
Diagnosing a sore throat consists of examining the throat, ear, nose and mouth of the child. If the following symptoms are present the child has a sore throat:
If your child is finding it difficult to swallow
Has pain and a scratchy sensation in the throat
Has sore and swollen lymph glands under the hinge of the jaw
Swollen tonsils with redness, white patches or pus
A hoarse throat with a scratchy voice, or trouble speaking
Complications of Sore Throat in a Child
In addition to having the symptoms of a sore throat, a few other complications can arise too. It is better to treat a sore throat if it is accompanied with these symptoms so that bacteria do not spread to other parts of the baby’s body.
Mouth sores
Throat infection along with lots of swelling, red inflammation, flecked with pus
Inability to swallow or open the mouth wide
Laboured breathing
Lack of appetite accompanied by dehydration, excessive drooling and a stiff neck
More than usual crying, irritability and crankiness
Remedies to Relieve Pain
Sore throat remedies for toddlers are generally limited to giving the prescribed dosage of an OTC pain relief and fever-reducing drug for high fevers. This takes care of the discomfort and pain and resultant crankiness, while giving the body time to fight the infection and recover
Home remedies for throat infection in babies and toddlers are rest and hydration. Giving them extra warm fluids will thin the mucus and help it to drain. It will also ease the sore throat
Drinking warm and light soups provides nutrition while easing the pain of the sore throat
Those wondering what to give a child with a sore throat can try home remedies for throat infection in babies like a small amount of tulsi crushed with honey or some herbal teas with ginger, pepper, turmeric, honey and lemon
Prevention of Sore Throat
A sore throat can be avoided by following these precautions:
Washing hands regularly, especially after sneezing, coughing, and coming in contact with infected material
Not going to a space where the infection is common
While babies cannot avoid contact with infected primary caregivers, the caregivers can practice better hygiene to minimize the exposure as well as avoid contact with people who have sore throats
A sore throat can be avoided by not sharing spoons, glasses and towels with infected people
Is Sore Throat an Emergency?
A sore throat can be an emergency if it is accompanied by:
Breathing difficulties
Shortness of breath, panting
A fever higher than 100.4 degrees for children younger than 3 months and higher than 102.2 degrees for children older than 3 months
A cough with traces of blood in the sputum
A muffled voice
Inability to open his or her mouth all the way
Swelling on one side of the throat (this can indicate an abscess in the tonsils)
When to See the Doctor
The correct time to see the doctor is when any of the above symptoms are present along with a sore throat, so that any serious health condition is not allowed to spread. Even if no serious underlying issues are detected, a doctor can take some measures to give the child temporary relief from the symptoms.
Conclusion: A sore throat isn’t something to lose your head over, despite the imminent days of suffering for your child. Ensure that it does not spread. Try to keep the child as comfortable as possible during this phase. By taking care of their immune systems, you can ensure future incidents of sore throat do not occur. Read more

Are Newborn Babies Born Without Kneecaps?
Most people believe that babies are born without kneecaps, but is that true? If you also believe that then clear your doubts. Read this article to find out if babies are actually born without kneecaps.
Do Infants Have Kneecaps When They Are Born
Most people think that babies are born without kneecaps but that is not correct. Newborns are born with kneecaps that are made of cartilage, which is soft. Later as they grow and their bone structure develops, ossification takes place and it turns hard. The common misconception about babies not having kneecaps from the fact that when an x-ray is taken of a newborn baby’s knees, the kneecap is not visible as it is made up of cartilage and not bones. And so the belief persists!
When and How the Kneecaps of a Baby Develop
This is a commonly asked question. The development of a baby’s kneecap starts in the mother’s womb itself when she is about four months into gestation. During the formative years, it is made up of cartilage. When the baby is about 3-5 years old, the process of ossification starts. The cartilaginous patella (kneecap) starts developing into a bony one. The development of the kneecap then continues throughout the infant stage until she is about 10-12 years of age i.e. until the cartilage gives way to a bony structure. However, even at this stage, the kneecap does have some bit of cartilage and it continues to develop throughout her adolescent period. Once the bone fully expands, it develops into a fully grown patella (kneecap).
Osteoblast cells grow in the cartilage linings and form a solid and firm bone which covers the cartilage. The blood vessels which grow around the cartilage develop into a nutrient artery which supports the development of the bones. The process of ossification intensifies and produces more bone cells resulting in the formation of a strong, bony kneecap.
Is There Any Way to Protect Your Child’s Kneecaps?
The cartilage in the knee is the reason why babies can crawl so well without any pain. It acts as a cushion because of its softness. However, crawling around can cause external bruises to the baby’s knees. A rough patch on the floor or small particles of sand or mud that comes from outside into the house are some of the ways in which the baby’s knees may get bruised. So what should you do to protect your baby's knees? You can make her wear knee protectors. These baby knee protectors are strips of soft cloth with cushions in the knee area. Tie them around your child’s knees and you can let her crawl around without any worry. Knee protectors are available online or on stores. If you have time and energy, you can also make it at home with a soft, with a cotton sari.
So now you know that newborns are born with kneecaps but with underdeveloped cartilaginous. However, for your baby’s cartilage to grow into a strong, bony kneecap, you must make sure that her diet is rich in calcium to enrich and have healthy bones. Proper calcium intake will not just help in the proper formation of her kneecap but also help in the development of her overall bone health.

10 Health Problems That Can Ruin Your Child's Summer - Here's How You Can Avoid Them!
Summer is that gorgeous (and tiring!) time of the year when the kids are home on vacation, spend time playing all day, and demand snacks at all kinds of unearthly hours. However, this is also the time when they are at the highest risk of falling ill! What if there are some stubborn ailments that can spoil their summer if you aren't careful?
Don't worry, Mom. Understanding the risks, preventive measures, symptoms and treatment can help you stay one step ahead of whatever is troubling your child. We bring you the 10 most common summer ailments kids are prone to and also tell you how to deal with them.
1. Dehydration & Sunstroke
During the summer holidays, the hours just disappear! The kids are very happy playing in the sun outside, but the continuous exposure can sometimes cause the body temperature to rise abnormally. The water content of the body also falls, and the result is disorientation, nausea and even fainting.
What you should do: Difficult as this will be, try to keep the kids indoors when the sun is at its worst. Keep them hydrated; we have a wide variety of summer coolers for kids to help you out here!
2. Ezcema
This chronic skin disease has the tendency to aggravate during summer, on account of sweat, exposure to sun, and increased secretion of oil. Your child may suffer from a skin rash as a result.
What you should do: Try and keep your child's skin as free of moisture and sweat as possible. A hypoallergenic sunscreen and moisturiser is your best bet. Consult a skincare specialist who will be able to advise you based on your child's exact skin type.
3. Insect Bites
Remember how summer brings with it the haunt of irritating insects? From mosquitoes and bees to wasps and pests, summer is the hotbed for bites of all kinds! This can lead to skin rashes, inflammation, fever and extreme pain.
What you should do: Prevention is really the best option here. Teach your kids to stay away from insect-ridden areas and keep exposed skin areas at a minimum. If they are bitten, follow this detailed guide on combating bites and stings in kids.
4. Conjunctivitis
Like bacteria, viruses are also overactive at this time. There is a fair chance that the virsues causing “pink eye” can reach them through dirty hands. This leads to redness, itching and eye inflammation.
What you should do: Hand-wash! Use these creative ideas to teach your kids to handwash. Also ask them to avoid touching their face or eyes unnecessarily. If they have contracted the problem, eye drops usually help clear it up in some time.
5. Swimmer's Ear
All those long hours in the swimming pool, so much fun, and an ear canal that is infected! If some of the water remains trapped in your child's ear, the moisture can trigger bacterial growth. This leads to itching and severe pain.
What you should do: Make sure the kids wear ear plugs while in the water. If they have been infected, administer an over-the-counter antiseptic ear drop.
6. Food Poisoning & Diarrhoea
While this can typically strike throughout the year, summer is when bacterial growth is at its peak. This is also when the kids consume the greatest amounts of street and junk food. If microbes find their way into the digestive tract, it can induce vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever.
What you should do: The only way to avoid this is to maintain excellent hygiene in the kitchen and consume only fresh, well-cooked food. If you are going out for dinner, make sure the restaurant meets hygiene standards as well.
7. Urinary Tract Infection
It's not just the skin that heats up with sun exposure, your alimentary canal doesn't like it either! This, combined with insufficient water consumption, can lead to stomach cramps and pain during urination.
What you should do: Get your kids to drink more and more water! Keep their stomach cool with foods such as watermelon and buttermilk. Also maintain cleanliness and personal hygiene. If the infection is severe, your child may need antibiotics.
8. Viral Cold & Cough
Which kid ever said no to ice-creams, cold-drinks and delicious roadside snacks, especially in summer? But this is also the season when the air is really dry, and their resistance to infection-causing viruses is low. A viral fever is very common at this time, leading to a runny nose, sore throat, cough and headache.
What you should do: A good amount of rest, plenty of fluids and saline drops are usually sufficient to recover from the ailment. Consider visiting a doctor if the symptoms refuse to subside.
9. Prickly Heat
This is probably the most aptly named summer ailment ever! Too much sweating sometimes blocks the skin pores which causes raised bumps. And yes, they feel really prickly!
What you should do: Opt for a chemical-free talcum powder which can ease the condition. Also dress up your child in loose-fitting cotton clothes as far as possible.
10. Asthma
Blame it on the air pollution, intense heat and humidity, high pollen levels or increased microbial growth, asthma attacks have been noted to rise at this time. Your child may also encounter other respiratory illnesses or infections.
What you should do: If your child is asthmatic, try to keep him indoors when the pollution and heat are the highest. Make sure the home environment is clean and sanitised. Keep his inhalers and any prescribed medication handy.
Now that you are armed with knowledge of the risks beforehand, we foresee a happy and healthy summer. Just make sure you heed any warning signs and visit the doctor if the symptoms refuse to die out with the solutions provided. Read more

How Popular Is the Name Ophelia?
Despite being an incredibly beautiful name, Ophelia has not been famous in the US. It has been gaining momentum as a favored girls’ name only recently.

However, despite debuting at 979 in 2015, the name climbed up the charts to be ranked 373 in 2018 and 391 in 2020. This means that the Ophelia popularity index has increased since then, allowing it to jump almost 600 ranks within just three years.
