Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend drinking liquids.

If the symptoms continue I suggest taking prescription antibiotics

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
