Hi, in my opinion you have throat infection because of streptococcal bacteria ( high ASLO titre).
Oracyn k is penicillin antibiotic which is drug of choice for throat infection.
Continue treatment as advised by your doctor.
Throat irritation will be there because of residual congestion, which will reduce gradually.
Aslo titre will be high for upto 4 wees following infection.
But once the infection is completely reduced, Aslo titre will also reduce.
Do not worry.
In case your infection persists, aslo titre doesn't reduce, then you may need intravenous antibiotics of penicillin for a week.
