Sore throat

[glo]

My son has had a sore throat for a couple of days.
Despite pain killers, soothing lozenges and hot lemon and honey drinks, it got worse yesterday.
In the evening and during the night (He has gone back to sleep, but I am still sitting up in the middle of the night) he has been coughing and complaining about earache ...

Because of the Christmas holidays, we have not been able to access the family doctor. I may need to take him to see the GP in the morning, but I was wondering if anybody knows of any other remedies we could use in the meantime?

I don't go to the doctor with coughs and colds generally, because I think they can be effectively treated at home ... but I don't really want to mess with a potential ear infection ... :(

i use warm water and salt for sore throat. (gargle) it helps.
if that fails....there is always ice cream.
ear ache could be serious, though.

Yes, I use warm water and salt as well. Works pretty good.

I like to use hot tea for sore throats as well as the methods above.

best bet is to keep giving him throat logenzes and tylenol until the Doc can see him.
