Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to a sore throat.
For that, you can do saline or Betadine gargles. Take steam inhalation.
In case of fever, cough with phlegm you may require antibiotics, complete hemogram, chest X-ray after ENT consultation.
Maintain proper hygiene. Use hygiene food and water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
