Hi
Sore throat may cause pain during swallowing. Its not a big problem. Some studies suggest taking pain killer like paracetamol relieves this pain. Tender nodes are seen in bacterial infection of the pharynx.
An examination of the throat by a doctor is important to exclude involvement of tonsils.
Aid your treatment with some supportive treatment like saline gargles, avoid very hot and very cold water and food.
Co-Amoxiclav is a good combination drug, take 1gm of that twice a day for some 5 days.
