Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of fever, sore throat, white blisters all over throat which lead to infection of upper respiratory tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Avoid eating spicy and heavy food.

- Do warm saline gargles several times a day.

- You should take ginger ,lemon juice and honey to soothe your throat.

- Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime will be helpful for you.

- Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

- Maintain hygiene rinsing with antimicrobial mouthwash.


Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should go for blood and sputum test. You should take combination of levocetirizine along with amoxicillin for 3-5 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
