I Am Suffering From Throat Infection For More Than A Week

Hi, i have sore throat a week ago. I went to see the doctor and i was given a three day course of antibiotics . It was getting better initially but after that my sore throat still persists. It has been more than a week now. The sides of my throat are reddish. Please tell me what to do. Thank you.
