Viral URI?: Without seeing and examining you it is impossible to say what this is, but based upon the description you provided it is not unlikely that this is a viral illness. You cannot exclude bacterial (almost entirely Grp A Strep) pharyngitis or allergies without a full assessment. Hope you are better soon.
