If you dont have fever or sore throat then its going to be ok. Since you had consultation with a doctor before any gross problem can be ruled out.
Next Steps
Saline gargling is the best way to clear your throat. Plus stay hydrated. Steam inhalation too will help
Health Tips
If your tiredness increase you would need a complete blood workup
