I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a sore, swollen throat with a fever. This can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Here are some steps you can take:

• Monitor your temperature: Since your fever ranges from 99.5°F to 102°F, keep track of it regularly.
• Pain and fever relief: Over-the-counter medications like Pyrigesic (an analgesic and antipyretic) can help reduce pain and fever. However, it’s important to use such medicines as advised by a doctor.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids such as warm water, herbal teas, or soups to soothe your throat and prevent dehydration.
• Rest: Give your body time to recover by resting adequately.
• Avoid irritants: Stay away from smoking, alcohol, and spicy or very hot foods that may worsen throat irritation.

If you experience any of the following, please seek medical attention promptly:

• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Persistent high fever above 102°F
• Severe throat pain or swelling worsening over time
• Presence of rash or other unusual symptoms

Since your symptoms could be due to various causes like viral or bacterial infections, it is best to consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or a general physician for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.
