Go to ER: This is potentially very serious and needs immediate medical evaluation. Airway compromise and extension of the infection can cause serious problems. Don't wait! i hope it turns out well for him.

Airway: Please take your child to the emergency room now ! if he cannot speak or swallow, it won't be long before he cannot breath.
