Hello,
Pain and congestion may be due to infection or allergy or post nasal drip or acid erosion.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use tablet pantoprazole.
Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
