the poosibility according to your history is sinusitis as the sinusitis cause fall of mucus back in the throat causing the chronic irritation and dryness of throat leading to soar throat and difficulity in swallowing
as the sinuses are in close contact with eyes there are eye problems written by you
need to get xray pns water view and consult ent doctor to manage accordingly
