General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue.
If i will be your treating physician i would advise you to
1- Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough.
2- I would start you on amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine so you need to visit nearest doctor to get it) But i would suggest you to go for throat swab culture before starting antibiotics.
3- Take acetaminophen for pain & fever
4- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
5-AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
If condition remains the same or deteriorate i would suggest you to consult with ENT Specialist.

Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
Regards
