Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may be suffering from acute viral pharyngitis with secondary bacterial infection. Also possible that you may developed lower respiratory tract infection. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use antibiotics like Amoxiclav twice a day or Azithromycin once a day for five days. Use syrup Ascoril thrice a day for five days. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
