Hi,
It can be an infection of the throat with flu. I suggest you do warm salt water gargle as many times as possible. Please take azithromycin. If still the problem persists meet an ENT doctor as they can see the clinical condition and do further investigations and deal with it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
