Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that it's a throat infection. Actually cold is a stress factor for body and we are prone to catch some bacterial infections especially throat infection. I suggest you to Gargle with betadine gargle four to five times a day. Have some lozenges. It will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
