Sore throat, stuffy.: Your symptoms sound like you are coming down with a cold. Best to rest and stay hydrated. If your temperature is consistently high or your sore throat worsens to where you cannot swallow your saliva, fluids, or food, see your doctor.

Common cold: Allergy is not associated with fever, unless you develop a complication, such as an ear infection. Your symptoms suggest a viral upper respiratory infection (common cold). You should rinse your nose with a saline spray, an otc decongestant spray (oxymetazoline=afrin) for 4-5 days, a lozenge such as cepacol and Acetaminophen (tylenol) or Ibuprofen (advil). No better in 5 days - see a physician.
