Hi AAAAA

Thanks for posting your query.

You are having both sore throat due to bacterial infection & ulceration due to vitamin deficiency.

You are on right tract & just about to complete your antibiotic course.

If still you are not getting relief you can switch to azithromycin for sore throat & should take multivitamin tablets including minerals like zinc for ulceration under your doctor's guidance.

It’s unethical to prescribe dose & dosage on line, so I cannot prescribe it. But, in my opinion you will recover soon.

I hope your query has been answered. I shall be available for your further queries.
