I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. It usually takes 5-7 days to see improvement if disease is severe. If there is externally swelling near jaw bone then mumps could also be the causative factor. I would suggest you to wait for completion of antibiotic. Meanwhile add following general measures as well:
- Make sure he does not eat outside cooked food. Cook food at home.
- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
- Acetaminophen suspension - 1 TSF thrice a day
