Why Is My Son Suffering From Sore Throat From Past One Week?
My 18 year old son has had a sore throat for 5 days now. He went to urgent care today and he doesn t have strep throat, mono, or the flu. He doesn t feel sick, just has pain in his throat. Urgent care gave him an antibiotic IV plus 3 prescriptions which included a pain pill. What does he have?

Hello,
Thank you asking the question on HCM.
I have reviewed your son history. It is in favor of Upper Respiratory Tract infection your son may be having the infection of pharynx or the Tonsils.
I would have advised
1.Gargling with mouth wash like chlorhexidine
2.Oral Antibiotics
3.Oral Analgesics and Antipyretics.
Nothing to worry your son will recover soon. please feel free to ask the query.
Thank you
