Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Throat

I have a sharp pain in my throat whenever i hit a certain pitch in my voice, laugh, yawn, or sometimes when I project my voice. I have to take breaks from speaking for hours and even opt out of talking at work when it stays consistent. I lost my voice a day before this happened. My voice has not altered and does not sound harsh. The last week has been hell...it feels like I swallowed a chip whole and cut my throat. I have to grab my throat to get through the pain sometimes and it sucks! I sing, haven t smoked in a long time and rarely drink. I m scared I have a problem...Oh, and I have not gotten my tonsils taken out....could that be it? The pain is about an inch long on my left side...two inches from from my collar bone. (jumbled I know...just not sure what it is and it s scaring me that it s not going away...)
