If a baby is on antibiotics for sore throat, is it okay to give her a tiny bite of chocolate or mithai?

It would be better not to give her chocolate or mithai during sore throat. Anything sugary or acidic will cause her to feel a burning sensation and also bacteria will grow better with sugar. So it's better to avoid sugar/chocolate/mithai during sore throat.

I think yes. But Plain chocolate and instead of mithai....halwa?Because at such a small age baby is on antibiotics. I believe a few small bites will give energy. I gave to my son as a baby when on antibiotics for sore throat.

It is okay to give your child everything except sour food which can irritate the sore throat further. Although I suggest you take a doctor's opinion.

Well..I never stopped giving chocolates or mithai during sore throat or when on antibiotics. It didn't aggravate their cough.
