Sore
Throats Sore throats are one of the symptoms
associated with colds, coughs, and other infections
involving the throat including strep throat. Since the sore throat is a symptom,
most often treatment is designed to provide relief and
comfort. Both warm and cool liquids can be
soothing. Hot water infused with lemon and sugar or lightly
brewed tea can be comforting. Making a tea party out of the
treatment and serving the soothing liquid in special cups
can also prove distracting as well. A cool treat could
include Gatorade ice cubes to suck on or an applesauce
slushy which, when placed in a small container, will freeze
to a thick but still icy consistency in about 15
minutes. If the sore throat is accompanied by a
fever, or if it persists for several days, consult your
doctor. COMMON
