Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As per your description, sore throat or pharyngitis(inflammation or throat) is a possibility.
As of now avoid cold drinks and ask him to drink plenty of water. Warm saline gargles can provide symptomatic relief.
A short course of antibiotics like amoxicillin can be started after consulting with your local physician.
If symptoms additional investigations like throat swab may be required.
Hope I have answered your query.
