Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Considering your symptoms, it might be a viral syndrome(common cold), that can continue for some days.
You need to take anti inflammatory painkiller as Ibuprofen 400 mg two times a day for the fever, body aches and sore throat, drink plenty of fluids and rest.
If the fever and the sore throat doesn't improve, or it get's worse, you should go to the ER to perform a physical examination because this might also be caused from a streptococus acute tonsillitis and needs antibiotic treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
