I have a sore throat that has not gotten any better in 2 days

** problem resolved**
Everytime I swallow it feels like sandpaper.
The best I've felt in 2 days is when I ate hot noodles.

I've had the chills, body aches, fatigue.
I tested negative for COVID.

My doctor won't be in Monday.

Could it be strep throat?
I've been taking pics of it daily. It's really red at the back but I do not see any white spots.

I do not have a cough

TLDR :What can I do to help my throat after 2 days of suffering?

The best you can do really is to rest.... If you can sleep....as much as possible. You can chew a garlic clove if you're courageous, or make a garlic tea or soup, it kills many of the bad guys.
Keep warm.
