My 21 month old daughter has almost no voice. What can I give her other than syrup?

Hello Ma'am,

In children 2 years old and younger, throat symptoms are often caused by viruses (cold and flu viruses, for example). There is no miracle treatment to bring back his voice, but some measures may help your child.

It is recommended that your child drink often, as this helps lubricate the throat. Using a straw or cup may be easier for the child with a sore throat. Honey or lemon can be added to liquids to help too. If he or she seems to have a sore throat, acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help.

Chips are not recommended for use with a child 4 years old or younger, as they may choke. Also, cold and flu syrups are not recommended under 6 years old either.

I hope I have answered your question.

Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.

Happy day,
