Greetings of the day
Sore throat and smell from breat could be due to Gastro-oesophageal reflux.
Giving him small frequent semi solid meals will take care of the reflux.
Also Proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprozole will help.
Do get back to me if you still have persisting symptoms
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
