Jackson's been not well the last couple of days. He's not eating, which doesn't surprise me, but I am not 100% sure what is wrong.
I am guessing he might have a sore throat as he seems to have problems swallowing, but he doesn't have much appetite either, so perhaps he feels sick too. I have been giving him pamol, but he still is anti swallowing. Does anyone use anything different to pamol? |

Would he suck on a spoon covered in honey? Good manuka honey is great for a sore throat. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Are you wanting alternatives to oral pamol or oral alternatives for throat meds?
My sister swears by pamol suppositories (for her kids). For the throat - yep honey, specially since he's over one. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

You could also maybe try some home made ice blocks for him just made from pureed fruit? or would he even suck on ice cubes? Sore throats are so horrid, hope he feels better soon. -------------

Your dr will be able to tell in 10 seconds if it is bacterial or viral. If bacterial the right course of antibiotics will start working in 12 hours, if viral you just have to wait it out. |
