Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. I would recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen three times a day.
I would also recommend gargle with salty water. You should also avoid using spicy food which can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
