Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the throat can be because of the throat infection. The pain near the clavicle can be because of the involvement of the lymphnodes secondary to throat infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
