Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that you have a bacterial infection in throat known as Strep Throat and the antibiotics taken earlier might have not completely resolved the infection leading to persistence of infection..
Nothing to worry start a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin or Augmentin for 5 days..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief from pain and soreness..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily.
Do warm saline gargles..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
