Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
This could be upper respiratory infection.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Analgesics for pain
3) Salt water gargling.
4) An expectorant cough syrup.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
