Consider a HealthTap: Prime consultation. This is a live consultation where a doctor can assess him based off of his history and ideally, with a video interaction, evaluate how he generally appears and how his throat appears. This allows for guidance and possible prescriptions to be provided if the doctor feels its warranted.
