You haven't indicated for how many days you took antibiotics for Pharyngitis.May be it is not cured fully yet, though scratchiness has subsided. Inflammation could still be there. Moreover bouts of cough could be due to accumulated phlegm or allergy too.

In all Upper respiratory tract infections, such as this or in catarrh, its advisable to do saline gargles ofen with warm water. We have experience that even gargles with turmeric powder also helps ease such infection rapidly.

Some decongestant syrup or herbal COUGH syrup is also advisable such as Koflet syrup and Tulsi herbal cough syrup ( Himalaya).

To my patients in such stages, I advise to drink water boiled with Tulsi ( holy basil - Ocimum sanctum) leaves and Koflet sy after a course of antibiotics and gargles with turmeric.

Hope it helps you.
