hi and thanks for the query,
you can take pain killers like tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain after checking the dose.
do warm salt water gargling 3 times daily.
avoid cold foods and air conditioning.
drink plenty of warm fluids and if you do not feel better in 2 days then you may need a course of antibiotics so you have to see the doctor.
