I'm worried because I've had a throat infection and fever since Sunday morning, which began two days after I went swimming. I'm also experiencing night sweats and a blocked throat when I wake up. I started taking Combiflam on Monday morning, but it's Tuesday night now, and I'm still not feeling any better. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about? Should I be doing anything else to help with these symptoms?
