Hello,
It may be due to local ulcer or infection or muscle spasm. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet paracetamol thrice a day if pain is severe. Drink hot liquids. If pain not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
