Hi,
It may be due to pharyngitis or enlarged tonsil. As the first line of management, you can start on a short course of antibiotics preferably Amoxiclav.
Do warm saline gargles and you can take analgesics like acetaminophen for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
