You have symptoms of throat infection which are due to bacterial or viral infection leading to a sore throat. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving. Avoid spicy food. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of water.
