Madam, how many days before do you have ingested the gurgle.

He maybe having pharyngitis i.e inflammation of the pharynx. Many children also have tonsillitis. So cannot confirm without examining. However give lozenges, warm fluids like soups to soothe. And continue gargling with diluted povidone iodine solution. Pain will reduce gradually.
