Brief Answer:
May be due to the acute pharyngitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query; and suggest you that you may be suffering from the acute pharyngitis mainly due to the gastroesophageal reflux disease.

I personally suggest you that you may go for strict control on acid reflux and if the condition persists then go for the throat swab and antibiotic culture sensitivity for specific management of acute pharyngitis.

Thanks

Wish you good health
