Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It doesnot seem to be corona. It rather seems to be pharyngitis.
You can take ibuprofen tablets when the throat pain is bad. Gargle with betadine solution twice a day. Gargling with salt water warm will also help. Other supportive care like warm fluids and warm air. Just boil some ginger, saunf and black pepper in water or tea and sip it slowly. Liquid foods. Adequate rest.
Antibiotic like Moxikind 325 or 625 (depending on your weight and tolerability of medicines) twice a day for 3 days should be enough.
Doesnot need corona test but watch out for difficulty breathing. If you develop difficulty breathing then you may need this test. Meanwhile self-isolate from others in house for atleast 7 days after the symptoms subside. Take all precautions for corona in house. Anyways we are locked down, so no venturing out. Sit in the sun
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
