Thanks for using HCM.

I can understand your concern.
Along with antibiotics please start steam inhalation and warm saline gargle.
This will help in clearing the phlegm and opening of blocked nose.
Once you feel there is no pain or discomfort in throat you will know your throat has improved.
Hope , this suggestion will help you.
Good luck.
