Brief Answer:
streptococcal throat infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, you might be having streptococcal throat infection. You would need detailed clinical evaluation and treatment. Empirically you can take anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol 500 mg + diclofenac 50 mg combination drugs twice daily for 3 days. With anti histamine and decongestant tablet twice daily your sinus pressure will reduce. Steam inhalation and hot water gargling will help you. Consult doctor for further assistance and antibiotics. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
