A. hi usually,it doesn't need any medication it goes away by own after 7 or 10 days. in the meantime , you can help your child feel better with : give over the counter Medicines as per your doctor's suggestions if there is pain . cold treats like ice pops , yoghurt or smoothies to soothe sore throat. Avoid giving juice and soda. use baby friendly Calamine lotion for rashses. keep your child well hydrated. wash hands frequently. Teach your child to cover his Mouth and nose when he sneeze or cough. Clean and disinfect surfaces and shared items like toys and doorknobs using Babyhug multipurpose cleaner. Don't send your child to school untill the symptoms are gone.
