I think you may have an inflammation in your throat. Do you have a fever? Is the throat red and swollen? If so, you can take antibiotics. If it's serious or even affects how you eat, you should go to the hospital. The doctor may give you hormones.

Ninety percent of the time, it is just throat infection. You should see a doctor and get oral or intravenous antibiotics to treat it. Moreover, have a good rest and drink plenty of water.
