Dear,
As per the history you have given and the clinical findings you seems to have traumatised the pharynx. you can take antaacid gel and some oral analgesics. hopefully you will get better in short time.
I would suggest you to consult the Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed.
Yours sincerely
