Upset stomach/sore: Running a fever?? sounds like you are developing a viral infection. I would try to eat light foods - avoid spicy or highly seasoned foods, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and consider salt water gargles 1/4 tsp of salt in 4 oz of warm water - gargle and spit out. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil might help. Generally these symptoms are self limited. Good luck
