Hello
It seems from the history that you are feeling of something struck in the throat following an episode of cold.
This indicates an acute pharyngitis as a result of extension of infection. The treatment is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Along with medical treatment salt water gargling will provide symptomatic relief.

Thank you
