Brief Answer:
Yes, admission would be necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through the attached reports.
He does have, probably bacterial infection. The focus being either urine or a sore throat.
In both cases intensive antibiotic therapy is needed. I hope, he will recover with the present antibiotics.
If he does not, then he might have to be given intravenous antibiotics after admission.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wishing him good health.
