Hello,
It may be due to tonsillitis.
For that you may require antibiotics azithromycin after ENT consultation.
Along with that continue steam inhalation and Betadine gargle twice a day.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Take hygienic food and water.
Maintain proper hygiene
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
