Suggest Medication For Treating Inflammation In Throat

HI I HAVE SOME KIND OF INLAMATION IN MY THROAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY UVULA THAT WAS INFLAMED BUT JUST NOW NOTICED THAT THE INFLAMED PART IS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE UVULA. I HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL FOR PNEMONIA AND HAVE BEEN ON STRONG ANTIBOTICS. I DID TAKE SOME AUGMENTIN FOR THE INFALMATION BUT IT HAS NOT HELPED
