Please see detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, pain and difficulty while swallowing may be due tonsillitis or sore throat.

As you do not have fever so I think no need to start antibiotics at this stage.

I would suggest you to do betadine gargles. Please take warm water and liquids. In case of acidity, you can take tablet pantoprazole as acidity may also cause throat irritation. Keep yourself hydrated.

Please watch for fever, in that case you can take tablet azithromycin after physician consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
