Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
Your brother seems to be having an acute infection of the throat. Please continue with the injectable antibiotic and the pain killer. Apart from that, he also requires to do throat gargles with povidone iodine and drink plenty of warm water.
Avoid hot/chilled beverages and food. If the symptoms do not improve within a day or two, request your doctor to give him a short course of steroids. He will definitely be alright.
I wish him good health
Regards

Hi,
Welcome to the forum. I suggest you to see a doctor in the emergency room. It is not proper to give any medication without consultation of a doctor or keep an unconscious patient at home. Voltaren is a NSAID and can cause circulatory problems leading to acut medical emergency.
At present the patient needs to be clinically assesses in a hospital. He needs to undergo a few blood tests and investigations before being prescribed injections, antibiotics or intravenous fluids.
After the patient is hospitalized, keep him in liquid diet ( soups, energy drinks ). Once he is better you can put him on semi-solid diet like porridges.
Take care.
