Hi,
It can be due to inflamed tonsils. I suggest you to do warm salt water gargle. Take antibiotic azithromycin and also do tongue scraping with tongue scraper after brushing. Do betadiene gargle for few days. If after all tjese still it persists meet an ent specialist and do the needful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
