[|Human|] My baby has swollen glands and red throat and is finding it very hard to swallow. He has not eaten anything solid since 6pm yesterday and not had a bottle since 7 this morning and has only drunk 4 fl oz of water today. He wakes up screaming and is increasingly difficult to settle.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that your baby is suffering from throat infection leading to Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis and the most common cause for it is bacterial throat infection, however it can also be due to viral infection. Consult a Pediatrician and get him evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis. He can be advised a course of antibiotics along with pain relievers like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen. Feed him with plenty of warm fluids and a soft and semi-solid diet. Give him sufficient rest and keep him HY Chat Doctor. . Do cool compresses over the glands. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
