Hello these symptoms usually are due to viral infection of throat. Just do gargles of warm salty water 3-4 times.& if you have fever, then you should take medicines. Otherwise, it will subside in 2-3 days by its own.

Its allergy. Its a common problem now a days. Do saline gargles daily. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of AC.
