You seem to be suffering from viral pharyngo-tonsillitis. Usually antibiotics are used to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Since it's already five days you need to get routine blood tests and continue taking cefexime with good painkiller and antiseptic mouth gargle
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
