He can chew for 5 - 7 days. But the throat infection will not disappear by chewing vit C. He will require some antibiotic cover for controlling the infection. Avoid cold/chilled liquids and food for him. Have salt water gargles which will help in lessening the pain etc.

I suggest you stop giving limcee as of now - once the sore throat subsides you may continue it let say after 2-3 days
