Hi. Thanks for your query. You should go to ER ASAP, as the symptoms of irritated throat, night sweats, Chat Doctor. Most important is to get a clinical examination and confirmation of an allergy and to get a proper treatment urgently. You need to be started on oral steroid, antihistamine and multivitamins along with therapeutic doses of vitamin A and D.
