Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems that you are suffering from Bacterial throat infection also known as Strep throat and the symptoms of throat pain that is Pharyngitis and dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing. For confirmation consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis. You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help. You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods.

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