I'm sorry to hear your son is experiencing a headache and sore throat. These symptoms can be caused by common viral infections like a cold or throat infection.

Here are some steps you can take at home to help him feel better:

• Ensure rest and hydration: Encourage him to rest and drink plenty of fluids like water, warm soups, or herbal teas.
• Soothe the throat: Warm saltwater gargles or honey with warm water (if he is above 1 year old) can help ease throat discomfort.
• Manage pain and fever: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen can help reduce headache and throat pain. However, ibuprofen should be used only as directed by a doctor, especially in children.
• Monitor symptoms: Keep an eye on his symptoms. If he develops high fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, rash, persistent pain, or if symptoms worsen or last more than a few days, please consult a pediatrician promptly.

Avoid giving any medication without consulting a doctor, especially in children. Since your son has these symptoms, it is best to have him evaluated by a pediatrician to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

If symptoms become severe or emergency signs appear, do not hesitate to seek immediate medical care.
