Hi,
This looks if he has got a respiratory tract infection. This is mostly caused by viruses and does not need any specific treatment as it would settle with time. He may use Paracetamol and Ibuprofen for the pain and fever.
However you he should be taken to the doctor if he feels too sick. Ask him to do rest and take a lot of fluids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
