Hi welcome to the health care magic
It seems you are having acute pharyngitis associated with bronchitis infection
For congestion relief take cetrizine or any other antihistaminic decongestant
Salt water gargle done three times a day
Antibiotic course also can be prescribed
Investigate with CBC and if needed chest x ray
Also check your ASO titre
If dyspnea more and Auscultation suspicious than spirometry might needed for further work up
Take care
Hope your concern solved
Consult otorhinolaryngologist or physician for examination and discuss all these
