Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that sore, swollen and burnt throat can be due to causes like throat infection that can be bacterial or viral in nature while can also be due to causes like acid reflux causing reflux of stomach acid into food pipe and throat and also leads to burning sensation..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture, pH value of throat and upper G.I Endoscopy if needed can be done for confirmation of cause and treatment can be done accordingly..

In case of infection antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkillers and warm saline gargles will help..
In case of acid reflux proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, H2 blockers like Ranitidine and antacids like calcium carbonate along with dietary and lifestyle modifications will be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
