Brief Answer:
allergic pharyngitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you might be having allergic pharyngitis.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed antihistamines + mucolytics combination drugs twice daily for 4 weeks+anti leukotriene antagonist drugs daily one for 3 months. Avoid oily and cold items. Curds and citrus fruits to be avoided.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
