[Rewy]

Been giving Calpol ,fluids ,milk and spoons of honey

I think gp tomorrow if she is no better tbh.

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

Yes you can give both, one is paracetamol the other ibuprofen.

Fast replies thankyou
Gp probably wont give her anything though?

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.

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.

Right will keep that in mind thankyou
