  5. I'm having a really hard time swallowing anything, even my own saliva, since yesterday. Im a bit worried because a few days ago I had a throat infection and a cold, but was feeling better last week. Plus, I ate some really hot food yesterday and Im not sure if that messed things up again. Could that be causing my throat pain?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
