See doctor: If these symptoms have been present for just a few days, they may be from a viral infection such as flu. However if the symptoms have been present for more than 3 days or is getting worse, you will need to contact your doctor. May try Tylenol in the meanwhile for the fever and the pain.

Evaluation is needed: With the elevated temperature there can be a lot of causes from infection viral or bacteria and that would be my first choice after that this could be part of a systemic medical condition. You need to see your physician and get this clarified
