Diagnosed With Cyst In Brain. Sore Throat. What Should Be Done?

A family member who is a quadraplegic was diagnosed with a large cyst which goes up to his brain stem. He s waiting to see a neurosurgeon as he has been told he needs an op. He has been complaining of a sore throat for 3 weeks. It s not a throat infection. What should he do. He s been un well for 5 months but at least he has a diagnosis. We are just concerned for him.
