hello
thank you for contacting HCM
your son might be infected with acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis or adenoiditis. means infection in throat or tonsils with bacteria or virus.
give him plenty of fluids. light diet with sprouted pulses. give him vegetable and fruit juice. do gargles with a warm water 3-4 times a day.
give paracetamol for fever and headache in half strength. please consult your clinician for antibiotics
thank you
