Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Most often the throat infections are either due to certain viral infections like Epstein Barr virus, or bacteria like Streptococcus. None of them need to be treated with antibiotics and irrespective of use of antibiotics, it usually takes 5-7 days for recovery. All you need to do is to gurgle with lukewarm water multiple times a day. Nothing else needs to be done.
Hope that helps.
