Hello,
It is not required to your anti rabies vaccine. Simple respiratory tract infection or sore throat will be a possible cause. As of now you can take over the counter available analgesics like paracetamol for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists or worsen it will be better to consult a physician and start on a short course of antibiotics. Do warm saline gargles for for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
