There are many possibilities depending on the child’s level of pain and illness. Simple things like tylenol would be ok for starters, soft and cool liquids like milk or smoothies to sip on may help. The best approach is to contact your child’s physician to address the cause of the sore throat and begin treatment as directed by the physician or the physician’s nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
Tylenol or advil - cool fluids - honey
I always recommend Tylenol for my patients sore throat, and I also recommend to buy the brand no generic (I do not have any interest or business with a pharmaceutical company).
Hi,
The best medication to give a 5 year old who is complaining of a sore throat is Tylenol or Motrin. If the pain does not subside after 24 hours, she should be examined by a pediatrician so that the cause of the sore throat can be determined. I hope she feels better soon.
