My son is 4 years old and has a very bad sore throat and is very painful and hard to swallow. He also just started with diarrhea and bad stomach pains. Hes very hoarse and in a lot of pain with his throat. It seems he is losing his voice somewhat. What does he need to get better quick?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. From your history I feel he may be suffering from Streptococcal sore throat. A remote infection elsewhere can lead to diarrhea and is known as parenteral diarrhea. Get a throat swab for culture and sensitivity and appropriate antibiotic give in consultation with your doctor. Strep sore throat to be treated immediately and kept on prophylaxis to prevent Rheumatic fever and/or Glomerulonephritis. Hope this reply is OK for you. Please feel free to ask further queries if any. Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam.
