Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever, Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist and get blood test, throat swab test done. You should get an x-ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well. You should take antibiotics along with decongestants and bucolic agents. Furthermore, you should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. Furthermore, you should take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. Take diet rich in vitamin B12. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
