Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat And Congestion

I am a 61 year old male. Over a week ago I contracted a virus with sore throat and lots of congestion. I thought I was over it, but yesterday, my fever spiked, and tonight it is 102.3 F. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and am scheduled to have surgery to remove in on May 19. I have been taking ibuprophen for two days, but to little avail. What should I do now.My wife wants me to ask if I could have an infection from the biopsy. I don't have any pain nor bleeding.

Thanks to HCM
sir I can understand your concern
don't worry ,it is the infection of virus or bacterial in throat
as your thtroat is congested ,it is the inflammatory reaction of virus

just take antibiotic and antipyretics like paracetamol 500 for 5 days along with salt water gargling

try to avoid cold and cold items

there is no relation to biopsy of prostate gland .

have a test of CBP ,and fever profile furtherly if it is not subsiding

it will reveal the cause of fever ..ok
don't worry sir
