Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat, fever, cold and nausea which is due to bacterial infection leading to strep throat. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present .The symptoms can also occur due to condition like sinusitis . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper checkup which the help of CT scan and get prescribed antibiotics . Taking steam will be helpful.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
