Hi and thanks for the query.
Looks like you have come down with acute pharyngitis (infection of the throat)Infection of the throat can produce fever, body ache, loss of appetie, tiredness.
You should see a doctor as soon as possible.
You may require anti inflammatory antipyretic drugs and antibiotics.
Till then you can follow some general measures.
1) Warm salt water gargling 4 times per day.
2) Plenty of fluids - 4 litres per day.
3) Adequate diet.
4) Avoid airconditioning, fan, and cold foods.
