Hi,

Since it is almost a week you have had these symptoms, it could be due to pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Kindly take course of antibiotics like Clarithromycin of Azithromycin for 7 to 10 days. Also add up Crocin 3 to 4 times every day. You should also gargle with warm water with salt and drink lots of hot water.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
