How Can Sore Throat And Nose Congestion Be Treated?

My son is 14 years old, no pre existing condition except environmental allergies. Yesterday had a sore throats and stuffy nose. Played in a football game, after the game complained of headache and had a low grade fever 99.8, and developed a rash on his back, around his mouth and in his butt. No fever this morning, but still has sore throats and rashand stuffy nose.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since he is known case of allergies, his all symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, skin-rashes) are suggestive of allergy only.
So give him combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once daily at night time.
Apply steroid (mometasone) cream on rashes.
Tell him to drink plenty of fluids, avoid oily and spicy food, avoid junk food.
Steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day are also beneficial.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
