My niece has severe strep throat. how can i make her comfortable while the antibiotics do their job?

Fluids and Pain med: You may give her some tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen for pain. Warm liquids such as soup or tea may help her throat feel better. Some children prefer cool fluids with crushed ice or smoothies. The most important thing is to keep drinking fluids- it keeps the back of the throat from getting dry and scratchy, decreases swelling, and helps with pain.
