I have had a burning sensation in my throat and a high fever for 2 days. When I wake up in the morning, the sore throat and burning sensation are more severe, and I feel a little better in the evening. What could be the reason? Which doctor should I see?

Sore throat and high fever are usually symptoms of infection. Acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis or viral/bacterial infections can be some of the common causes. Severe sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever and general weakness can be signs of infection. The relief you feel in the following hours may reflect daily changes as your body fights the infection.
However, more information is needed to understand the exact cause of the symptoms. If the pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as cough, runny nose, hoarseness, this may indicate a viral infection. If there is increased pain, especially when swallowing, white spots and swollen tonsils, this may be signs of a bacterial infection such as streptococcus.
The branch that deals with these symptoms will usually be ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) or Internal Medicine (Internal Medicine). The doctor can make a definitive diagnosis with an examination and, if necessary, additional tests such as throat culture and blood tests.
It is important to see a doctor immediately, especially if the high fever continues. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
