Brief Answer:
You are likely having upper respiratory tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if you are suffering from an acute attack of upper airway infection or upper respiratory tract infection like pharyngitis or tonsillitis. You need to get it reviewed by an ENT specialist in detail. Meanhwile using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen and anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine will help with the symptoms.

If fever spikes persist, an antibiotics course like azithromycin or augmentin may also be needed. Meanwhile gargles with XXXXXXX warm saline water and steam inhalations will help.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
