I read below in the Cold/Flu thread some ideas but I'm wondering if there is anything I can give him since he's so young. He'll be a year old next week so we haven't given him honey yet. His poor throat is so sore he won't swallow.
DH is going to our health food store to get some EOs for him to inhale. I'm thinking Oregano oil diluted and rubbed on his feet would be good also.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Even though it's not organic or natural, have you given him tylenol or motrin to bring his pain down so he can swallow? I hope he gets better soon!
Yes, we have. I'm usually a fan of a good ol' fever so I didn't want to give him anything that might keep him from getting one if his body needed to heat up to fight of grodies but he was in such pain last night that we gave him infant advil and then another dosage this morning around 2am when he woke up.

Try cucumber water the just cut cucs and put it in the water with ice really sooths the throat. Diana
Elderberry syrup is fine for children. I sell from two companies that have lines for children. Natures Sunshine has CBG liquid and Ultimate Echinacea. Also VS-C, which is for anything viral. And they have a chewable elderberry for children.

For the next time -don't forget a vaporizer. Also, salty foods can help a sore throat. The doctors encouraged salty chips for me when I had my tonsils out. I did salty watermelon chunks instead.
