Brief Answer:
Probable viral infection of the upper respiratory tracts.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is a probable viral infection. Am not sure antibiotics are required now and they would make no difference in your care and recovery.
I suggest that you go with Tylenol 1000mg every 6-8hours. This will address your pains and the inflammation would subside.
I wish you well. Keep me updated on your response to treatment.
Kind regards!
