Fever with throat pain mainly caused by viral infections. As the fever will be high due to viral infection, such as Coxsackie virus (hand, foot and mouth disease), you can use Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain and fever. Throat lozenges or gargle salt water, herbal tea with honey or lemon may help.
