Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection. I recommend to take anti inflammatory medications such as Tylenol to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest to drink liquids such as warm lemon water and rest. The symptoms will probably relieve in a few days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
