Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to sore throat, tonsil enlargement, esophagitis.
Throat examination by physician, swab test, ESR, CBC will help in the diagnosis.
Doctor will give following advises:
Tablet amoxiclav
Tablet ibuprufen
Tablet rantac
Drink plenty of lukewarm water.
Do gargle of warm water with added betadine
Avoid spicy/oily food
Hope this may help you
