Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: You need prescription from doctor and also assessment before taking antibiotics.

Explanation: After severe vomiting sometimes it may feel like you have something in your throat. It may not be an infection always. So, dont diagnose on your own.
Instead go to your doctor and get yourself examined for any throat infection if any present. Mean while you can gargle with salt water every 2hrs and can take plenty of fluids which will help to get rid of your infection if present.
Good luck
