Hello,
You can try home remedied like warm saline gargles and ginger lemon tea for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to go for antibiotics.
A short course of antibiotics preferably penicillin group of antibiotics like amoxicillin will be effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
