Antibiotics may be needed

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for asking a question

I'm Dr Chaithanya attending you

This looks like throat infection.

You need antibiotics as mild infection can be cleared by salt water gargling and yours seems moderate to severe

You can take Azithromycin 500mg 3 days , daily one tablet. This is a prescription drug and your doc will prescribe it for you.

You can add a decongestant or antihistaminic like cetrizine to help irritation.

Hope that helps
