Hello,

Consult a general practitioner and start a short course of antibiotics preferably Amoxiclav.

Do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
