Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it looks like your son is suffering from Viral throat infection leading to sore throat or Pharyngitis and fever..

I would therefore suggest you to give him Tylenol along with Ibuprofen in combination..
Make him do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day for relief..
He should do steam inhalations..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet and suck throat lozenge..
Give him soft meals and plenty of warm fluids..
Take sufficient rest..

In case if there is no improvement in 3-4 days consult a Paediatrician and get him evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
