LO's sore throat - what to do?

I got a cold on monday and it started with a sore throat. Now it's just sinus congestion - and it feels like the worst is behind me. But I think I may have given it to Hayley. She was pretty stuffy last night - every time she ate she would choke because she couldn't breathe so well. And today she has an occasional cough. Aside from her refusal to do salt dough ornaments - her temperament has been ok, but I'm worried if this is my cold, she may have a sore throat.

Then I started to think, what do you do for a 10 month old who can't have cough drops? I know I can use the humidifier to calm the cough tonight (its not too bad though) - but what do we do to soothe the sore throat?

    Warm liquids.. Water, apple juice, pedialyte. It will help her throat and help any mucus going down the back of her throat break up too.

    I suppose Tylenol or Advil would be the only thing, right? Only if she's crabby, though. If she's not crabby, it's probably not bothering her.

    DS was so stuffy he couldn't drink his bottles last week, too. His ped said to give him 1/2 tsp of children's Zyrtec once a day and it really helped.

    our pedi recommended popsicles when he saw Ben's throat was irritated.  I think you can even buy pedialyte ones.

    Not a whole lot you can do! The saline spray has always helped Ian.  His pedi suggested using it for congestion/runny nose because it coats and offers some relief...even in their throat because it will spray to the back on their throat too.  Use the spray, not the drops.

    This is what I was told when Eli was sick a few weeks ago. The nurse even said warm chicken broth was okay too.
