A member asked:

5yrold has a sore throat. is there anything else besides medicine she can take to soothe her throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cool, soothing foods: Try anything cool like chilled applesauce, popsicles, frozen yogurt. All these would probably feel soothing on a sore throat. If she'd take it, tea with honey could be nice -but i'd bet on the popsicles! lgromkomd.
