Iodine for sore throat - 2 year old

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I have heard and read stories about people painting their throats when they have

a sore throat and it helping them get better. I have also heard about painting

wrists with Iodine. The only Iodine I have in the house is the stuff you can

buy at a drugstore for $2. Wondering if it would be worth trying on my two year

old who hasn't been feeling well for the past couple of days. She has the

croupy cough and quite clearly a sore throat. Kinda desperate here for

suggestions/advice and hope that someone on this group might be able to provide

some help!

Thanks,

Amy
