The Marcus is currently down with fever. I'm suspecting the causes are my throat being injured few days back. I have no idea how I injured myself, but I do know that I was spitting blood out from my throat 3 days back. Anyways, I did not consult the doctor because I wanted to prove that the theory is correct.
The theory explains:
Sore throat is divided into two groups which is the Viral infection & Bacteria infection
Viral infection:
Usually the common ones among those whom are down with sore throat. Basically, sore throats due to viral infections are cured in 3 days time. After that, in which you are experiencing extreme pain in the throat and high fever, it's time for you to see the doctor. There is no significant cure for this except to let the antibodies in your body to fight off the virus.
Bacteria infection:
There will be white spotted dots on your tonsils. These signs indicate that bacteria is breeding in that area. Your tonsils will be swollen and intense pain is felt in the throat. Antibiotics works against bacteria and not viruses! Remember there are times when your doctor gave you antibiotics and you have no idea whether you're actually having a bacteria infection? It might be viral infection all the while since viral infection is so common.
In my case, I knew I wasn't near to bacteria infection because I'm down with cold, slight fever and there is no pain in my throat. Furthermore, I'm not spitting thick green mucus, which I assume is the pus from the tonsils if you're infected with bacteria. Anyways, this is just the 2nd day. If tomorrow morning I'm still experiencing high fever, then I'll consult the doctor.

My solution:
- Drink lots of fluids especially water
- Gargle with salt water about 2x a day. Damn I should have tried 3x haha
- Take plenty of rest. Avoid outdoor activities
- Taking paracetamol to reduce my fever. Not more than 6 tables a day of course.
- Warm bath to cool down your body. You've gotta shower trust me!
- Take simple food like bread, milo or biscuits which are easy to be digested
- Food! There are times where you don't feel like eating anything. The situation may worsen cause your stomach will began excreting acid which causes wind. Wind = Vomiting. Remember, the stomach needs it even if you don't want it.
