Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The upper respiratory tract infection can be treated with a course of Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Drink plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication like Levocetirizine. Consult an ENT specialist once and get it evaluated. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
