Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of an upper airway infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician or an ENT specialist for a physical exam and some tests (a throat discharge bacterial culture, a chest X-ray study, complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation). You may need to take antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
