Viral sore throat

Pain relief is important; easing the discomfort will help your child eat and drink. You can relieve pain in the following ways:

give paracetamol (you must follow the dosage instructions on the bottle; it is dangerous to give more than the recommended dose)
gargle with warm salt water (one teaspoon of salt per glass of water)
throat sprays can help but stop using them if your child doesn’t like them
sucking on lozenges can help by increasing saliva production but they are not recommended in young children because of the risk of choking
drink warm liquids - honey or lemon is a common way of providing relief
cool liquids and ice blocks can help some sore throats

Infections caused by viruses can not be treated with antibiotics. The body will clear out the virus on its own without treatment

If your child has glandular fever (Epstein Barr virus), they should not take antibiotics because antibiotics don't work gainst viral infections. In fact, some types of antibiotics, especially amoxycillin, can cause a rash in children with glandular fever.

Strep throat

antibiotics are especially recommended for strep throat to prevent rheumatic fever in at-risk children - Maori and Pacific Island children
make sure your child takes all the doses even if their symptoms have improved
pain relief is also important
children can return to school or day care 24 hours after they start antibiotics as the risk of spreading the strep is reduced

A man who lies to himself , and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth , either in himself or in anyone else , and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others.

When he has no respect for anyone , he can no longer love , and , in order to divert himself , having no love in him, he yields to his impulses , indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure , and behaves in the end like an animal .

And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself .
