What do you all think?

Well Owen is 4 now and about 7 weeks ago got a Bad throat infection, he was put on antibiotics and things got better for about a week. Then he started to cry again at night about his tongue hurting again. I took him back to the Doctors and they said nothing was there it was all cleared up.

It been over a week since going to the doctors and he is waking up 2-4 times a night in a right state. Could this just be a habit? If so what do I do about it? But he seems so upset. I give him some water a hug and he goes off till next time.

I could do with sorting this out; he is in the same bedroom as his brother so we are all having bad nights

Thank you if anyone can help.

Donna,
just wanted to send you  HUGS

Have you thought about giving him a 'fake' tablet before he goes to bed and tell him that this will allow him to sleep all night as his throat won't hurt him?
Does he complain during the day?
Have you tried having a look in his throat with a lollypop stick on his tongue?
If you are not convinced, I'd take him back to the doctors.

I agree with previous post.  I was sure my child had an ear infection.  She was up at night fussy and pulling on her ears.  I took her in to the doctor and they said she was perfectly healthy.  This kept up for a week and I took her back and she had an ear infection.  Sometimes I think those type infections are sneaky.
