Suggest Treatment For Fever, Body Ache And Throat Pain

Height: 5'5
Weight: 121
Medical History: Asthma

I accidently mistook my friends Symbicort inhaler for my own albuterol inhaler. That was last Thursday and since then I have had a slight fever, aches and pains (predominantly back and legs), and a throat pain. This Thursday I am going to see my doctor, but I want to know what I can do to reduce the throat pain because it hurts to swallow.
