HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Your symptoms are suggestive of Flu . Most of the times it's due to Viral Infection and for viral infection the treatment given by your doctor is fine . It usually takes 2-3 days for recovery .

So I advise you to wait for 1 more day and if still there is no improvement , consult your doctor again and ask for an Antibiotic Prescription .

Do salt water gargling, drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
