Hello,
You were having acute pharyngitis infection and usually, it resolves in week.
If not than antibiotic need to be prescribed.
If you have persistent headache for two week as mentioned than get checked your blood pressure value and routine CBC.
Underlying cause has to be searched for. If any history of anxiety than mention it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
