Hello,
The symptoms of your son see to be related to recurrent tonsillitis. I would recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day for pain relief.
A strep throat is needed to confirm the diagnosis and take proper antibiotics. I would also recommend taking vitamin supplements to boost the immune system.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
