Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chills, night sweats and severe throat infection. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sinusitis or viral pharyngitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges to soothe area of throat. You should consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and CT scan to confirm the diagnosis and rule out strep throat . Doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs acyclovir or antibacterial amoxicillin depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestant and expectorant . For now do warm saline gargles and take steam thrice a day . Avoid taking spicy and sharp food. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
