Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
This seems to be pharyngitis, drink plenty of warm water, do gargles with povidone iodine mouth wash. Also consult your ENT specialist in case the throat pain worsens or does not improve, as you might require antibiotics.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar

In Pharyngitis there is fever with running nose, irritable nose.
In Acid-Peptic Disorder there is belching, heaviness in stomach..
In B-Complex Deficiency, there are ulcers surrounded by redness.
