What can I give my 2-year-old child to quickly treat a suspected throat infection and relieve his sore throat, given that he has refused to eat solid food for four days and recently had a high fever that decreased after taking Meftal?
Since he has been unable to eat solid foods for four days, it is very important to have him evaluated by a pediatrician immediately to check for dehydration and determine the correct treatment. In the meantime, focus on keeping him hydrated with small, frequent sips of cool fluids, clear soups, or oral rehydration solutions. For pain relief, you can continue paracetamol as directed by his doctor. Please avoid starting antibiotics without a prescription.
