What Causes Sore Throat Along With Fever In The Afternoon?

I have had a sore throat for close to three weeks now. I am losing my voice and coughing a lot. I feel phlegm in my throat. I also get fevers every afternoon (for two afternoons) around 4PM. My temperature is normal all day long until the afternoon. I was tested for strep yesterday and it came back negative. The doctor said it was most likely something viral in my throat. I am wondering why I only get a fever in the afternoon. Am I contagious?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat along with fever in the afternoon which seems to be due to streptococcal infection and it could be due to poor immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

- Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

- Maintain proper oral hygiene and do warm saline gargles.

- You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin for 5 days.

- Take decongestants such as Pseudoephedrine along with mucolytics such as Ambroxol.

Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get routine blood tests and throat swab test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
