Pain In The Lower Throat And Upper Chest While Breathing Or Swallowing
Thanks for posting your query.
A pain in the lower throat and upper chest which worsens on XXXXXXX breathing or swallowing is likely to be due to a viral chest infection like pleuritis which has also affected the lower pharynx.
Most of the times such minor infections do improve with a mild pain killer like acetaminophen and steam inhalation. Giving a healthy diet and vitamin C supplements also help.
In case the pain is persistent or associated with high grade fever, then systemic antibiotics might be needed after consulting his pediatrician.
I hope this answers your query.
