“What medicine is good for a child's sore throat?”

Medications such as Tylenol or Advil are good for any pain, especially sore throats. Also one can use an over-the-counter product such as Cepacol or Choraseptic which come as lozenges. More importantly, why does your kid have a sore throat? Please call your doctor and see if this illness warrants an office visit to make sure that your child does or does not have a Streptococcal sore throat, which can in rare cases be serious and requires antibiotics.
