Health Advice - Children's Illnesses - Sore Throats
As with coughs and colds,
the majority of sore throats are caused
by a virus, and therefore antibiotics
will not help.
To alleviate the pain give your
children Paracetamol or Cocodamol at the recommended
doses and time intervals. Children over the age of
twelve will find gargling with soluble Aspirin helpful,
but children under 12 must not be given Aspirin.
The Health centre is hoping to receive the seasonal flu vaccine in October and are proposing to have 2 flu vaccine clinics on the Saturday 16th October and Saturday 6th November.If you are in 'at risk' group please make an appointment nearer the time
