Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and swollen lumps with fever and diarrhea which is because of severe viral infection/upper respiratory tract infection/sinusitis/ gastroesophageal reflux disease. Need not to worry. Avoid giving cold beverages. Take diet rich in probiotics. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it. I would suggest to take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity. You should start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Go for complete blood count and platelet count to rule out any hidden systemic pathology.Giving warm chicken soup and lemon tea is very useful for this. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
