Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat In Children
My daughter is 7 years old and she has a very sore throat. She sounds hoarse and it really hurts her when she coughs. I have given her childrens tylenol, cough drops as needed and warm tea. I need to take her in to our doctor, but he is not in today. What can/shoudl I do?

hi,
throat infections are frequently viral in nature and hence require only symptomatic treatment.
give her tylenol and lots of warm fluids.
