Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your symptoms it seems that you are having acute upper respiratory tract infection.
go for antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines as soon as possible as there seems to have pus or slough on back of your throat.
Do warm water or listerine gargles.
Avoid cold drinks and ice creams.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Ok andbye.
