Pharyngitis after getting wet in the rain is often due to a viral infection, and symptoms can last a few days. You can take paracetamol for headache and throat pain, drink plenty of warm fluids, do steam inhalation, and rest your voice. Avoid cold drinks and smoking. If there is no improvement after 3 to 4 more days, please see a doctor for further treatment.
