hi
throat inflammation can be due to acid laryngitis.
please start on proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole or rabeprazole,added with antacid syrups like gelusil or sucrafil.
in combination these two reduce the acidity,as well as the symptoms of reflux disorders.
rest with left lateral head end elevated position, to prevent the reflux.
avoid stress, oily, heavy foods.
if not reduced please consult the gastro-enterologist to find the exact cause.
all the best
take care
