We have all been that way the last couple of weeks. Is his throat swollen? If it is just red and irritable with the stuffiness it could be just possible sinusitis or allergies. Me and my kids have all been thru that the last few days. If he doesnt have a fever just keep giving the popsicles and get him something that will dry him up like an over the counter antihistimine. I am a true Mucinex believer it comes in so many different formulas for different symptoms. Try some of the kids throat lozengers that are like suckers or sucrets. I hope he gets to feeling better.
