See pain while swallowing is mostly due to some throat congestion or inflammation. For this you have to take some antibiotic after consulting your physician preferably tab azithromycin once daily with some decongestants like tab wikoryl or tab diominic-dca every 8-12 hours with cap pantop or cap omez empty stomach for heart burn or gastric upset. Do salt water gargles and steam inhalation as it is very beneficial in your case.
