Dear Ms
It is likely to be Pharyngitis, in the absence own other symptoms there is no cause of concern.
Warm saline gargling ( to a glass of lukewarm water add 2 spoons of salt) will be helpful done thrice a day.
Antiseptic lozenges will also be helpful. It is usually self limiting and there is no cause for concern. Consultation will be required if the symptoms worsen.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
Take care
