What Causes Fever With Sore Throat?

I'm a healthy adult. I've had very low fever with fatigue and mild sore throat for the last three weeks. My temperature has been fluctuating between 99.8 to 100.2. For the last two days my temperature is closer to 97.5 and I've been feeling very tired and feverish, still with a mild sore throat. My blood test results will take another week or so to come back. Any advice on the potential cause and what I should do?
Thanks

Thank you user for your query
Probably you are suffering from pharyngitis which is commonly viral in origin.
On a safer side you should get the culture of throat swab for group b streptococci, so that you may not develop rheumatic heart disease.
Till then you can start doing warm saline gargle, or by chlorhexidine mouth wash.
For fever any analgesic tablet can be taken.
You can also consult and ear nose throat specialist, if your symptoms won't subside.
Do get back after your blood reports.
God Bless.
