Hi thanks for posting your query
Do you have cold and cough or headache?
Continue paracetamol 650 every 6 hourly, do salt water throat gargling, take steam inhalation, have plenty of fluids and take rest for 2 days. If still the symptoms remain same then you'll need a course of antibiotics, I usually prescribe Tab. Amozclav 625 mg in my practice.
If any issues do follow up
