We can't really diagnose over the internet and if you want to make sure you should see a doctor, but it sounds like a viral infection rather than a bacterial infection since you had a runny nose and sneezing as well. There isn't much you can do against viral infection other than waiting. You can take a pain killer like ibuprofen to make it easier for you to swallow.
