Hello,

I think that the lowering of temperature in your case can be due to either antipyretics or due to exposure to cold.Pls do not take any antipyretic till you consult a doctor.Wear some warm clothes and cover yourself up properly and drink some hot drinks.As far as your fever,headache and sore throat is concerned I feel that you need to rule out strep sore throat and pharyngitis and also get yourself a course of antibiotics.Pls consult a physician immediately.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
