HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
You are having Throat infection and it seems like a Bacterial infection. You need to get a test called Throat Swab Culture sensitivity test and ask your doctor for an Antibiotic prescription.
Your head congestion is due to Sinusitis , I advise you to take Steam Inhalation 2-3 times a day . , Drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.
Hope you find this information useful.
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask
