According to history you are having acute pharyngitis like presentation..... There might be secondary upper respiratory tract infection also....
Your work up done as follow... -Posterior pharynx examination -CBC -Auscultation -Throat swab and culture
If CBC shows high neutrophilia with more count than antibiotic prescribed for that
Salt water gargle done three times a day
If needed diluted betardine gargle done
Vitamin C lozenges taken along with phenylephrine like decongestant drug...
Drink more water
If no improvement and cough increasing than chest x ray done and influenza ruled out by serological testing or PCR... And than if needed treatment for that started by oseltamivir like drug only if needed
Take care
Consult physician or otorhinolaryngologist we for examination with keeping my answer in mind
