Should I Be Worried About A Sore Throat?
my 5.5 year old son HAD a sore throat for about 2 weeks....now it's quite red and somewhat swollen and he has red spots on the roof of his mouth, BUT he says his throat isn't sore now....my 15 year old is on antibiotics for strep...if it's not hurting him...should I worry about it?

hi,
I would be worried that your 5 year old has strep throat also and so he should have a throat swab and start antibiotic treatment.
best wishes
