Brief Answer:
Salt water gargling, lozenges like strepsils or cofsil

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Based on the information provided by you, it appears sore throat which is usually viral in nature and requires only symptomatic treatment.
You can get yourself examined by local health care provider or local doctor, and on examination if they feel, then may refer you to ENT specialist.

Based on the information it does not appear to be anything serious. Presently I would suggest you to drink plenty of water especially warm water. Take a table spoon of honey with warm water in the morning. I would recommend you for salt water gargling three to four times a day.
I would suggest you to suck lozenges like strepsils or cofsil, two to three times a day. With this measures you should be fine by couple of days.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
