Yes. You can give both. Just follow the dosage. Hope she feels better.

Fast replies thankyou
Gp probably wont give her anything though?

[ilovelamp82]

Depends why she has a sore throat. They may give her antibiotics. Maybe she has tonsillitis. I used to have this a lot when I was younger. And still occasionally now. Unbelievably painful. They would give her antibiotics. A few days on soup and ice cream and she'll be fine. If it is tonsillitis, make sure she finishes the course as it has a nasty habit of coming back next if the course isn't complete.

[Badvoc2]

All depends.
If it goes in for days they will.
Also, the white spots can appear anytime...

There is an OTC medication called difflam throat spray which is very good.
