Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be suffering from acute pharyngitis with Eustachian tube block it may be due to Infection or allergy etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid cool drinks and frozen water. Avoid smoking and alcohol intake.
Use decongestant medication like Xylometazoline nasal spray.
Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
