What Causes Sore Throat Along With Visible Red And Purple Veins In Throat?

I ve had a really hoarse cough for the past week. I just got over having strep throat about a week ago as well. My throat is really sore and there and red and purple veins sticking out on my throat. What does this mean?Am I sick again or is this still from strep, even though I m off of antibiotics?
