The sides of my throat have been red for a while now. my doctor gave me antibiotics last tuesday. i just finished it today, why is it still very red?

Virus: It could be a viral infection; antibiotics will not treat viruses. are you having any symptoms? Fever? Any white spots on the throat or just red? Swollen glands? If it still hurts see your doctor for a re-check.
