Hello,
Don't worry he may be suffering from acute pharyngitis. It may be due viral or bacterial infection. Use salt water gargling if possible. use amoxicillin with clavulinic acid twice a day according to the weight. If no improvement please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
