Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat

I have had a horse voice for over 2 weeks. It started with a sore throat which was negative for strep. After 3 days, I had crusty eyes in the morning. Started amoxicillin 500 mg x 10 days. Cleared the eyes but still am horse. Was told it is a virus that settled in throat area. No chest or head congestion. Was told it could last another week or two. Any suggestion?
