Hi,
If lasted beyond 72 hours, it is better that you get his throat examined with your pediatrician, as this might be a streptococcal pharyngitis needing antibiotic treatment. Meanwhile, make him drink enough fluids and a soft diet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
