Fever spikes also need to be evaluated by a throat examination and antibiotics course may be needed. If no source of bleeding or fever is found, an upper GI tract endoscopy may be needed.
Meanwhile at home you can use OTC analgesics like acetaminophen for symptomatic relief as well as XXXXXXX warm saline water gargles and steam inhalations. Also make sure not to use spicy or sour diets or fizzy drinks to avoid eroding the throat further. Soft diets and liquids can be used safely for few diets.
