Could Green Patch On Throat Of An Infant Be Due To Throat Infection?

My 10 month old baby was diagnosed with throat infection 9 days back. Now her cold has worsened her voice is hoarse and her tongue has a greenish patch at the back closer to her throat. She screams a lot last 2 days and it is clear it is bothering her. What could it be? I am still breastfeeding my baby.

Hi
Welcome to Health care Magic.

Green patch on the throat indicates infection. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for further treatment.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Please do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
