Hello,
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to mononucleosis.
This is a viral infection so there is jobs need for antibiotics.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine to treat the itching.
I also recommend using Tylenol in case of fever.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
