Pain, Swelling, Pussy Bumps, Mucous At The Back Of Throat. Advised Due To Viral. Opinion?

Hi I am a 32 year old white female. I saw my pcp 12/29 and was prescribed a zpac for a throat infection that he thought was due to a virus. He tested me for strep throat and it came back negative, which really surprised both of us, so that is where he came up with the conclusion that it must be a virus. My symptoms were pain in the back of my throat with swelling . I also had yellow pussy bumps that were visible in the back of my throat ( my tonsils have been removed) The pain has gone away but I still have some bumps that scab over every night, I also experience alot of mucus in the back of my throat. Is this normal?

It is normal to have these symptoms for few days post and episode of URI. Do use hexidine gargles after meals for few days.
