Hello, Don't worry. Throat pain can be due to other reasons also. Take a break for 2-3 days with antibiotics and gargling. Better to check SpO2 at safer side. No need to panic for covid as far as no Fever. If fever develops then get tested.

Do not self prescribe antibiotics like erythromycin unless prescribed by a doctor. During the pandemic any case of sore throat, running nose, fever, body pain hs to be considered as covid. Does anyone in the family has had similar complaints? Or did anyone visit the family or did you visit anyone? If no, continue symptomatic treatment with gargling with povidone iodine solution and chewable lozenges. If the sore throat increases, get a rt-pcr test done to rule out covid and follow home isolation precautions.
