Brief Answer: Throat infection. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. Your symptoms are most likely caused by throat inflammation. Usually it is caused by viral infection. However if you can see enlarged tonsils, whitish lumps in your throat and the pain while swallowing is present, quinsy or some other bacterial infection is possible. If you smoke, such symptom can indicate throat or larynx malignant lesion. You may have hoarseness. I suggest you to consult your doctor first. In case of doubts, laryngologist should be consulted. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
