My almost 3 year old son has caught a virus from me and now has a soar throat during the night and when he first wakes up. He is whining and crying during his sleep because of the pain. Trust me, I know what he is feeling as my throat feels the same way. Any suggestions as to what I can give him to help alleviate his pain and help him sleep through the night? The virus also comes with drainage and caugh as well. Thanks!!
Have you had the chance to take him to the dr? Tonsilitis is going around big time. My 18 month had to go through 3 rounds of antibotics for his sore throat. We live north of the Tampa area. Just a thought....
Night time coughing is a sign of asthma. I know I thought that i'd know if she had asthma but my dd only gets asthma when she is sick with a cold. Her only asthma signs are cough, sore throat, and nightime waking. So whenever she gets a bug I have to start her on pulmicort once a day. Otherwise, she'll cough for months.
How long has he had the sore throat and cough? I also use a cool mist humidifier since the house is so dry with all the ac.
I would suggest children's motrin, it will alleviate the pain and discomfort that associates the soar throat, if he is running a fever this will help with that as well but I would suggest you see a dr if things don't turn around soon.
you can get that trimatic sour throat,it worked wonders for my son,make sure you get the soar throat one ,and always check the age limits,
I don't know how you feel about medicines but I would try giving him childrens motrin for the pain and I know this is going to sound crazy but if you cut a onion in half and put in his room next to him on a dresser, or somthing nerby the aroma will stop the coughing, it really works!
