It : It sounds like you are dealing with a common cold, possibly the flu, throat infection, or ear infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen and your fever does not break with tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil you should see your doctor. A doctor will be able to make a diagnosis and give you appropriate treatment which may or may not include antibiotics. Take care.

Viral infection: It is flu season, and the symptoms you relate are consistent with a viral upper respiratory infection.
