Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms seems like that of throat infection that can be caused by bacteria or virus leading to pain and discomfort..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical examination and investigations like throat swab culture to check for the exact cause of infection..
He can advise you a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, warm saline gargles and steam inhalation..
You can also be advised to suck throat lozenges and chew Vitamin C pellet..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and drink plenty of water..
Take a soft diet..
Use a humidifier in your room as it helps in easing breathing..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
