Hello,
Throat infection can be due to pulmonary diseases or Impacted wisdom tooth which is inflamed.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical evaluation by an ENT specialist initially.
If symptoms persists,please do visit a dentist too.
Maintain oral care.
Gargle frequently with warm saline or betadine.
Avoid intake of spicy,salty food items.Take care.
