Hello,
It may be due to throat infection.
For that you can do saline or Betadine gargles twice a day.
For cold you can take tablet levocetrizine.
In case of fever you may require antibiotics after physician consultation.
Take hygienic food and water.
Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further.
