Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you are suffering from infection in throat, and it can be caused due to bacterial or viral infection in throat leading to Pharyngitis or Tonsillitis and even the headache is also due to it. Nothing to worry, you can take a course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin or Azithromycin, take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations. Use a humidifier in your room. You can suck throat lozenges and chew vitamin C pellets. Chat Doctor. . Avoid spicy and chilled foods. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
