Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At home you should do these things for faster recovery.
1. Tell him to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep himself hydrated.
2. It is better to avoid oily and spicy food, junk food.
3. Tell him to do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
4. Avoid cold stuff.
All these will give him good feeling.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
