Hi,thank you for posting your query on Health care magic.I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

Looking at the symptoms,your husband is suffering from mild inflammation in the throat,which may get relieved by taking Analgesic with Anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen.

If he suffers from High grade fever(more than 101 degree F),difficulty in swallowing due to severe throat pain,pus discharge in the throat,etc suggestive of bacterial infection,then he may need to start Oral Antibiotic like Amoxycillin as advised by your doctor.

Hope this answers your question.Take care.
