hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
Treatment of Sore Throat:-
Antibiotics:-
Usually doctors do not prescribe any antibiotics for babies under the age of 2 years. However, depending upon situation and the baby’s condition, doctors may recommend some antibiotics for your little one. However, this is only applicable if the cause of the sore throat is bacterial and not viral.
Keeping protected from allergic stuff:-
Make sure you keep your baby protected from everything your baby is allergic to.
Keeping hydrated:-
Since swallowing food is difficult for the baby with sore throat, make sure to regularly feed your baby small sips of warm liquids, preferably warm water.
Avoid feeding
Cold Liquids or Food:-
Avoid feeding cold fluids or cold food (such as yogurt) to the baby especially if the cause of the sore throat is cold and flu.
Pain Reliever Medicine:-
Depending on the cause and the condition of your baby, the doctor may prescribe some pain reliever medicine, if he/she thinks it’s best for the baby.
Feed Honey:-
You can also try feeding honey to your little one if they are older than 12 months.
Feed warm soup:-
Feed your baby some warm soup. Make sure the soup has more liquid content than solid. Also make sure that the soup is not too hot.
Allow your baby to rest:-
Restlessness and constant crying will lead to exhaustion of your baby. Let your baby rest as much as possible to give rest to the baby’s voice, throat and body.
Steam to provide relief:-
You can also try steaming. Use a steamer with steamer liquid to help your baby relieve the pain. Steaming will also help sooth your baby’s throat as well as open your baby’s congested nose.
Keep away from contagious environment:-
Avoid taking your baby into any crowded environment where they can easily catch the infection or other allergies. Further, try to keep your baby’s surrounding clean and dust free.
Consult your doctor for further treatments.
