He has not taken any antibiotics as year but trying home remedies like gaggle with salt, and drinking Luke warm water.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted history of your son of 12 years who has sore throat, fever and developed itchy hands on day 3.
This is indicated of severe infection in the throat causing septicemia and hence the other symptoms of pain in throat, redness and itchiness and so on.
I would advise him the following:
- Send his blood and urine for tests, throat swab for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.
- Get started on proper antibiotics, antihistamine and supportive medicines like anti-inflammatory, painkillers and for fever.
- Home remedies will not help or may lead to complications due to inadequate treatment.
