hi and thanks for the query,
you are down with upper respiratory tract infection.
you can take pain killer tylenol after checking the dose. it helps with the fever too.
it is safe for you.
do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily. drink lots of warm fluids and avoid drinking cold drinks. avoid air conditioning.
if you do not feel better in 2 days then you may require a course of antibiotics so pay a visit to the doctor.
