How To Treat Sore Throat?

I continually drank from a gallon container (full of water). I noticed that the inside smelled of mold. Shortly after I stopped drinking from it, my throat became very sore. As time wore on, it wasn t just a sore throat; it s also uncontrollable shivering, painful coughing, and bumps on the back of my throat. Are these symptoms relative to the mold, or is it just a cold?
