Hi,
Your symptoms indicate affection of respiratory tract (infection /allergy)to cause throat or bronchial inflammation to cause the symptoms.
Complete blood counts, x-ray chest are the minimum tests required to confirm the cause. Followed by specific treatment.
Please consult a chest specialist for expert advise. Please take rest,avoid exposure to allergen,do hot saline gargles ,drink warm water.&take prescribed medicines regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
