Hello well for your sore throat a first thing is I would suggest you to do salt water gargling at least twice a day with lukewarm water and secondly if you need to start an antibiotic it's better you start on with Azithromycin 500mg once a day and along with it you can take Paracetamol twice a day and use Strepsils for soothing throat..thank you
