What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever?

Earlier today my nose started to run. Within an hour I went from having mere sniffles to sneezing a lot of liquidy mucous. As this started to happen, my throat started to become sore and now I have a fever. What is going on and what should I take to feel better?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat along with fever which seems to be due to streptococcal infection and it could be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin for 5 days. 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. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
