Throat Discomfort
Had fever on Friday night after sustaining a bump on his forehead secondary to a fall while playing. He was given paracetamol 3.5 mL every 6 hours, but the fever did not subside. From Saturday night, he is being given Augmenting syrup 5 mL every 12 hours along with paracetamol. Fever subsided, but he has been complaining of throat discomfort over the last 2 days, particularly when he is eating food. Tonight, when I checked the back of his throat with the help of mobile torch, I could find two small ulcers, on either side of the uvula (see image attached). I don't know if there are anymore deep down the throat. Could you please suggest any advice/treatment for this.?
