What Causes Sore Throat, Fever And Nose Congestion?

Hello... Thursday evening, my throat was EXTREMELY sore, and I was barely able to swallow my own saliva, let alone any liquids or food. Friday, I had a fever, barely a voice, and I could feel my tonsils swollen. I went to the clinic and did a strep throat... The test came out negative but I am not getting any better... it has moved up to my nose now i am fully congested and if i talk for a long period, I begin to lose my voice! what s going on?!

Hello!
According your symptoms and lab test I think this is viral situation ( common cold, syndrome) includes rhinitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pharyngo-laryngitis. Common cold syndrome is caused by some virus like influenza, rhinovirus, RH virus, adenovirus, corona virus ect. This situation could last 3 -4 days. The principle of treatment for common cold syndrome are stay at home, drinking a lot of fluids, ibuprofen for fever, taking nourishing food.
I hope my answer help you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
