Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
Throat pain ( acute) is usually associated with infection in upper respiratory tract.
Cause may be streptococcus or any other bacteria or may be viral infection.
So once again consult your treating doctor and get in blood examination for culture so exact nature of pathogens could be find out.
Difficulties in swallowing and pain in throat is due to infection.
Till any report gargles with antiseptic solution or saline.
Chewing of GINGER will give you immediate relief.
Hope you will find out the answer your query.
Good luck.
