Viral pharyngitis or viral upper respiratory tract infection are quite common during the rainy season. These usually need only supportive treatment which can include steam inhalation, paracetamol SOS use and saline gargles for throat ache. Also the fever can be recurring initially,but If ur fever persists beyond 48 hrs , ideally u need to get evaluated
Next Steps
get a CBC with PBF - if tlc are high , start an antibiotic amoxyclav 625 mg tds, if the fever goes beyond day 3-4 get a dengue NS1 and IGM Elisa,
Health Tips
if the fever persists beyond day 2, u must get urself examined by a physician

Only paracetamol will not do.
No tests will come positive on day 2 of fever as IgM antibodies take time to form.
