Sore throat is a common infection caused by infection in the throat.
A sore throat caused by a viral infection usually lasts five to seven days and doesn't usually require medical treatment. Antibiotics don't help treat a viral infection.
To ease pain and fever, many people turn to acetaminophen Tylenol, others or other mild pain relievers.
Consider giving your child over the counter pain medications designed for infants or children such as acetaminophen Children's Tylenol, FeverAll, others or ibuprofen Children's Advil, Children's Motrin, others, to ease symptoms.
Never give aspirin to children or teenagers because it has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that causes swelling in the liver and brain.
