hi, from what you have described it sounds like a straight forward throat infection, best thing you can do is book to see your family doctor for a firm diagnosis and possibly some antibiotics. in the meantime you can try gargling with some soluble aspirin to help with the pain, and take an anti-iflammatory to bring down any fever you may have. another soothing and tasty idea is to suck on an ice lolly this will help keep your throat lubricated. hope this helps.
