Hi, Thanks for your query. Dysphagia or painful swallowing may be a manifestation of posterior pharyngitis which may be due to viral infection. Get some analgesics, hot saline gargle, betadine gargle....And if not responding, visit your physician to get antibiotics like amoxycillin-clavulanic acid prescribed because bacterial infection may supervene viral one....
Best wishes
