Suggest Medication For Sore And Pink Throat That Hurts While Swallowing

My throat has been hurting for the past 5 days. It hurts when I yawn or swallow. Also, my throat is pink in color and not swollen. Please get back to me as soon as possible. I have my choir concert on Monday and I need to know if it's ok to sing or if it will affect my sore throat. Please let me know what's wrong. Also, my boyfriend had strep throat about 6 weeks ago. And I didn't kiss him or anything until about 2 weeks ago because I was afraid I would get strep. I don't know if that could be part if the cause or not. Please get back to me ASAP though. Thank you!!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The sore throat can be because of the bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin(if you are not allergic). You can take an analgesic for the pain like ibuprofen. Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
