The Flu: It is the flu season right now. You very well may have the flu. Or you have strep throat. If you have a fever or if your son is feverish you may want to contact your family doctor about this.

Several possibilits : The majority of these fall into a group of upper airway viruses including adenovirus, rhinovirus and others that can self heal. It can also be mono or strep. An evaluation and testing is the way to sort it out and avoid complications that may occur with untreated issues.
