Detailed Answer:
I think I would suggest the follows-
1. steam inhalation 4 times a day
2. warm saline gargles 4 times a day
3. plenty of warm fluids and soups
4. tab crocin 500 sos for fever or bodyache.
You may need to meet a local ENT specialist to examine your throat.
Because if its very congested, you may need antibiotics as well.
Unfortunately, I cannot examine you online.
