Hi,

You are having acute pharyngitis presentation or it can be upper respiratory tract infection It could be viral or bacterial You should consult doctor for work up as follow.

- Auscultation
- Posterior pharynx examination
- CBC
- ASO titre or throat swab

You can take vitamin C lozenges and decongestant like Phenylephrine for symptomatic improvement. Salt water gargle should be done three times a day and steam inhalation done two times a day. Daily take one tsp turmeric powder with milk. If after examination and Auscultation, there is need for x-ray then further investigation can be done with x ray. Avoid spicy foods. Consult pulmonologoist or physician for examination with keeping all this in mind.

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

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
