Brief Answer:
If you are symptomatic, nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
If you don’t have any symptoms related upper respiratory tract infection, nothing much to worry and no treatment is required.
If you have throat infection, you will develop symptoms like throat pain, fever, difficulty in swallowing, dry cough.
If you are worried much, you can go for a throat swab to rule out infection just for reassurance.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
