If the temperature gets higher, then you have to take all the measures to return it back to normal, otherwise blood clotting will begin. Usually, antipyretic drugs are used for this. A few days after the intensified treatment, the temperature will drop, the pain in the throat will come to naught and the patient will gradually recover.
