The pain could be due to acute inflammation of the pharynx and the larynx. You may require broad spectrum antibiotics along with metronidazole, povidone iodine throat gargles and a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. Better to get admitted in the hospital and take injectable medicines and intravenous fluids.
