Hi and thanks for the query,
Looks like you have severe phayngitis - throat infection.
You can take pain killers.
Follow some general measures.
1) Drink plenty of fluids.
2) Do warm salt water gargling.
3) Avoid air conditioning and cold foods.
4)Get plenty of rest.
If you do not feel better in the next few days please pay a viait to your GP.
Regards, Dr Kishori.
