Keep an eye on it in case it's developed into a throat infection or something like tonsillitis.

Sounds like your system has got a bit run down so make sure you get plenty of fluids and fruit and veg and get some vitamin C in you.

You can get the tablets which dissolve into a drink which may be better for your throat too while it's sore.
