Brief Answer:
complete the course of antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query. Most of the sore throat are viral in nature and are self limiting and require only symptomatic treatment.

In my clinic I would not have suggested you for antibiotic in the beginning. But as you have started with it, it is always better to complete the course rather than stopping in the middle.

With this, I would recommend you to suck lozenges like strepsils or cofsil, three to four times a day. Drink plenty of warm water. Salt water gargling - 3 to 4 times a day. In the morning a tablet spoon of honey with warm water.

I think with this measures you will be fine.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
