Sore throat
I was suffering from high fever and sore throat pain for the past 3-4 days. Now my temperature is normal but sore throat problem is still present. Sometimes i feel like the passage is getting narrower. Also i am having cough.when i cough i want to throw mucus from my throat but my sore throat is restricting that due to which i am unable to throw enough mucus. I don't know if it is viral infection or bacterial. I cannot go to meet the doctor personally because of lockdown.Please suggest what should i do?

These are symptoms of pharyngitis. However since the COVID cases are on rise and you also seem to have high fever, Advise you to get it tested. Samples can be picked up at home. Detailed history and evaluation will help.
Next Steps
Gargle regularly with Povidone iodine solution, tab Dolo 650 mg for fever will help for now.
