Your symptoms are suggestive of Pharyngitis (infection of the pharynx) associated with sinusitis.
For my patient with these symptoms I would have put him on antibiotics, preferably Azithromycin 500 mg one tab once a day for 3-5 days.
Antipyretic - Paracetamol 500 mg one tab thrice a day.
A multi vitamin tab one tab a day will do wonders to boost the immune system.
Hope this answers your query.
