Dear Chuck...I have gone through your post in which you have mentioned that you are having throat pain associated with redness...
All these symptoms indicate that you might be having pharyngitis.
It will be better if you consult an ENT specialist.
Meanwhile, you can do warm water gargling...it will relieve a lot. And also avoid taking cold food & drinks.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
