Brief Answer:
throat infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.

As per your history, you might be having throat infection. Your tonsils are also infected causing pain during swallowing.

Empirically to reduce pain, you can take anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 days. Do warm saline gargling.

If symptoms persists, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated. If I were your treating doctor, I would have first clinically examined you, confirmed my diagnosis, treated you with Penicillin antibiotics. Avoid oily and cold items. Drink boiled water only.

Hope my answers have helped you. Pleased to help you further.

Thanks.
