Since you have already taken antibiotics which are effective in streptococcal infections there is no need take any other antibiotics. If you are symptomatically better you can stop taking antibiotics. Your aso titre will decrease eventually
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
