Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat with headaches and fatigue which could be due to strep throat , upper respiratory track infection , viral pharyngitis and acid reflux . I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for headache and take benadryl twice a day . Do warm saline gargles and avoid food that can cause acidity like fried and spicy food , Keep your head elevated while sleeping. If symptoms doesn't get better in a days then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine with laryngoscope , order thraot swab test and viral culture test . Doctor may refer you to allergy specialist or gastroenterologist . Maintain proper hygiene. Drink plenty of water and liquids. Take tepid sponging if it is severe headache.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
