A majority of these are viral in which case antibiotics are of no value. It will pass when it does. Three weeks would be a sign of mono.

A Flu, Strep and COVID 19 screening test should be considered. If viral usually there is improvement within 5 days. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, fever and difficulty swallowing. Drink soothing fluids and rest.
