Sore throat – this is not uncommon in children. Usually there is a cold behind it. In this case, selected agents from the pharmacy can help relieve the sore throat. In addition, general measures have proven to support the recovery process.
Young patients suffer particularly from the unpleasant symptoms. Therefore, attention and calmness are particularly important. After all, the immune system needs all the strength to get a grip on the common cold.
Sore throat in children:
Overview of treatment
Sore throats can be pretty nasty. In order to relieve the pain, suitable agents from the pharmacy can be used. If the child is old enough, lozenges or sprays are often recommended, which contain local anesthetic and disinfectants and can thus relieve the sore throat. It is important that you only give your child preparations that are also suitable for his age. Lozenges are not yet suitable for very young children, as they can swallow them – especially if they contain anesthetics.
In principle, oral pain relievers (e.g. ibuprofen) in a suitable dosage can also be useful. Please ask your pediatrician or pharmacist.
If the sore throat is due to a bacterial infection, the pediatrician may prescribe an antibiotic.
