HI
Well come to HCM
This may not be bacterial infection and may allergic condition of throat if this is so then antibiotic wont work here, with general care and antihistamine this would come around, and the drug of choice would be Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen as per need, for fever and pain, Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, hope this information helps. take care.
