Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having infection of the throat and needs medical attention.

I would like to suggest that you should get yourself investigated for following :-
1. Complete Blood Count(CBC).
2. Throat swab culture.

You can take antihistamine like cetrizine 10 mg once a day along with a decongestant like phenylephrine. paracetamol can be taken 6-8 hourly for fever and body aches.

Warm saline gargles will be beneficial.

Avoid eating or drinking cold and spicy.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
