Hi and sorry to hear about what you are experiencing.

Straight whisky can be very corrosive at times and cause damage as it is been swallowed. The irritation it caused is responsible for these symptoms and the cough.

You should not be very worried as of now unless something new comes up. It should normally get over within a couple of days. If it persists or get worse, then you may want your throat to be examined by your doctor.

Hope this helps and relieves you of your fears.
Please, keep your alcohol consumption at minimum. It is a wise thing to do.
Wish you good health.
