Hi there.

This could be Hashimoto thyroiditis or Subacute thyroiditis. Inflammation of the Thyroid gland or lymph nodes even can be associated with fever in some cases. Perform tepid sponging to control the fever. Take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for the fever and pain. Hey an ENT checkup to rule out infected lymph node.
