Hi,
It is possible you have a viral infection, and the antibiotics he prescribed don't work.
You should continue the antibiotic, because a secondary infection may arouse.
Use an antiseptic solution for the mouth
You can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen, 2-3 times a day, for the headache or sore throat.
