Hi,

It might be due to tonsillitis or pharyngitis.

As a first line management, you can try warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

Generally, the symptoms settle by itself in couple of days.

If symptoms persist for long, better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
