Brief Answer:
Follow the Advises..
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome back to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern for your son,
As per this description, he seems to be suffering from viral influenza and/ upper respiratory tract infection (along with allergic manifestations), it's mostly viral etiology, however it can also be bacterial, so good that he's already put on Amoxicillin..
No, although the taste alteration will be there , but you must continue all the medications as already advised by his doctor.. all theses symptoms generally be there initially for first 2-3 days, then it'll start gradually improving with proper medication's support..
Yes, the taste can be bothersome of the medications, you can simply mix them in a little bit of fruit juice (~ 10-15ml in room temperature only) so that it becomes palatable..
Instead of plain rice, you can make simple home made khichdi, XXXXXXX porridge etc., not only they are easy to swallow, but nourishing too, he'll feel better too..
Along with them, encourage him to drink plenty of XXXXXXX warm fluids (soups, broths, bournvita etc.) and plenty of water too, it's extremely important to remain well hydrated..
Avoid sour foods and dairy products for the time being, and no cold drinks strictly.. additionally , encourage him to take gentle steam inhalation twice daily for next 2-3 days and XXXXXXX warm water gargling with a pinch of salt three times daily..
With all these followed, he should be fine..just don't miss/skip any of the antibiotics or other medications..
Take Care
Kind Regards
