Can get him a...: Can get him a visit with his doctor. New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or mild flu (antibiotics are not used), or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or other viruses. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away in 2 days (mainly to check for strep throat, listen to the chest).

Simple helps: OTC cough meds are essentially worthless in kids that age. A little lemon in honey taken at bedtime can help with cough & for some reason a little chocolate may help also.
