He maybe having pharyngitis i.e inflammation of the pharynx. Many children also have tonsillitis. So cannot confirm without examining. However give lozenges, warm fluids like soups to soothe. And continue gargling with diluted povidone iodine solution. Pain will reduce gradually.

For a young child who cannot swallow, an alternative should be preferred like drinking sips of warm water with added salt and turmeric. It also acts in the same way to decrease swelling in throat and as a local antiseptic. If the child develops fever, you may need to start other medications after consulting a doctor.

Hi. Avoid drink out sided water and more cold water.
Burning sensation cause by itching by infected water or foods or dust area.
Drink warm water after meals. Do gargle with warm water. Avoid high acidic foods. High acidic foods also create burning sensation. Then take few alkline foods to control acidity.
Milk is best option for it.

Dear lybrate-user
Bleeding from anus has many causes.
Simply it could be a fissure or a haemorrhoid.
A detailed history and anal examination will clear the diagnosis.

A good anal hygiene will sure be of much help.
I hope this helps.
Many thanks.
