Hi,
If the sore throat is not responding to antibiotics then it is necessary to do throat swab culture and blood tests. Antibiotic can be switched based upon culture and sensitivity report. In the meantime continue with antibiotic, analgesics and multivitamins.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
