Hi
Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Your son's problem can be most likely laryngopharyngeal reflux and throat infection. Acid from reflux can irritate throat and cause throat and tongue irritation, infection as well as coating. In such case I would suggest taking acid lowering drugs like esomeprazole (Nexium) or ranitidine (zantac) and antibiotics like azithromycin. Taking chewable vitamin C ,tea with lemon, warm chicken chicken soup with pepper etc is good.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
