Hello,
Probably you had an upper respiratory tract infection of viral origin and fever subsiding indicates that your infection have gone away. Your throat pain may be a result of severe cough for this condition you will benefit from the following measures
1-Inhale steam in a shower or use a humidifier.
2-Drink anise, fenugreek, and ginger as a tea.
3-Drink plenty of water.
4-Use antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
5-Use antitussive such as Benzonatate (Tessalon)
No need for an antibiotic unless fever re-emerged.
