Hi welcome to the health care magic

Pharyngitis can lead constitutional symptom like muscle pain..

So if clinically pharyngitis present after examination than antibiotic course like Amoxiclav can be given

If ribs are tender to touch than costochondritis might be causative and for that brufen like anti-inflammatory drug given...
Hot compress also useful
Avoid stress
Avoid strenuous work and take rest

As your other reports normal no need for much worry

Consult physician for examination with keeping all this in mind

Take care
