Brief Answer:
precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your concern but it is not necessary that you will have fever.
Just do certain things like -
- gargles with lukewarm salt water
- avoid chilled beverages including water and take them only at room temperature
- take one tablet cetrizine at night.
In case it doesn't resolve in 2 days or gets aggravated then visit your doctor for examination and prescription of antibiotic.
All the best, take care.
