Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and drowsy feeling which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection and impaired immunity of body.
Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you
-Do warm saline gargles on daily basis. -Take a proper course of antibiotics for at least 5 days. -Avoid oily and sharp food. -Drink plenty of fluids. -Apply mist humidifiers in the room. -Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
