Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headaches, fever, appetite loss and sore throat strep throat which is due to streptococcal infection and it could be due to tonsillitis. It could be due to granular pharyngitis and sinusitis. I I would suggest you to take antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin for 5 days. You should take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. Do warm saline gargles. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. Gargle with an antimicrobial mouthwash. You should take steam inhalation with vaporizers. Avoid spicy, hot and sharp food substances. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Visit ENT specialist once and get throat culture and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
