It sounds as if you are experiencing an
infection in your oro-pharings(oral cavity
and throat). I can’t tell you what kind
of infection, because I'm unable to see it
and examine the localized afffected area.
You can seek help from an ENT-specialist.
A microbiological smear and blood analyses
will have to be done to identify the cause
of the infection. Proper antibiotics and
corticosteroids will most likely be
required for treatment.
