Hello! I had gone through your query and understand your concern. In the way you describe it seems to be an upper respiratory infection probabily caused by a virus. Considering the fact that you have fever and sore throat I can't exclude a strep throat which is a a bacterial infection of the throat caused from a bacterium called Streptococcus. The diagnosis of strep throat is confirmed by a throat culture or rapid-strep test and the treatment is an antibiotic.
I suggest to consult a physician so he can examine your throat and confirm or exclude Strep throat. If it's a viral infection no specific treatment is required. Meanwhile you can take Ibuprofen or Paracetamol to control the fever and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
Hope it helped. Wish a quick and complete recovery. Dr.Rovena
