more than 80% throat infections are viral and resolve spontaneously. It may take 3 to 4 more days.Meanwhile you can have medicines for pain and fever for symptomatic comfort.Have maximum rest for early recovery

Mr. lybrate-user, To reduce throat infection you need to do hot water with salt gargling twice a day. Plus avoid deep fried foods. Also use mouth washes to prevent infections. Thanks.
