Sore throats in children are commonly caused by infections such as viruses or bacteria, like strep. Sore throats may also be caused by postnasal drip from a cold or allergies or other sources of irritation. Treatment for sore throat in kids depends on the cause and may range from home remedies like honey or gargling with warm salt water to medicines prescribed by your child’s health care provider.
