Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
Throat infection is because of bacterial or viral infections. In your case it is probably because of decreased immunity caused by mono nucleosis infection following it you have developed infection by staphylococci.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics according to the culture and sensitivity.
Hope this is helpful to you.
