    11 month old with a sore throat - what can I do?

    My 11 month old DD has a really husky voice/cry and obviously has a really sore throat. I've given her nurofen but I really don't know what else I can do... Any suggestions?

    definately some warm water with a little lemon and honey (if she has had honey before that is) or even just a little honey on a spoon will help soothe her throat. Hope she feels better soon
