Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever,chills, sore throat with diarrhea and fatigue is because of severe viral infection or upper respiratory tract infection or sinusitis. Strep throat could be the major reason for this. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Avoid giving cold beverages. Giving warm chicken soup and lemon tea is very useful for this. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity. Keep him sipping lukewarm water whole day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Go for complete blood count and platelet count to rule out any thrombocytopenia and any hidden systemic pathology. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
