some investigations are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an ENT specialist.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Throat swab culture.
2. Complete Blood Count ( CBC ).
3. Sputum examination.
You can take an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 120 mg once a day and paracetamol 500mg three times daily for relief from your symptoms. Warm saline gargles will have added benefits.
Avoid cold and spicy foods. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water daily.
Further medical management including need of appropriate antibiotic can be planned according to the reports of the above mentioned investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
