His throat needs to be seen
It's a long time for pharyngitis
Since he does not have fever and not a continuous problem
It's better to evaluate the cause

Hi, saltwater gargling is good , but a small kid can’t do it properly, use Betadin gargle twice daily, make her drink some(5-10 leafs) holy basil (Tulasi ) leaf extract with water twice a day, if symptoms persist get her checked by the nearest Pediatreation
