It is not a cold. The pain immediately came on about 2 seconds after cleaning my teeth, first starting off with a toothpaste burn that I've gotten before. Too much toothpaste came out on the brush, and as I was brushing my teeth a bit of toothpaste stuck to the back of my tongue and touched the back of my throat. It got worse as the time went on (well, a few minutes and the next hour or so), then when I woke up this morning my throat felt sore and it felt like there was a lump there but I reckon it's a bit of skin where the toothpaste had somehow burnt off. Ouch.
Definitely 100% not a cold.
I wonder if somehow the toothpaste or something has scratched the back of your throat and there is a tiny wound. Toothpastes are abrasive, they must be in order to clean the teeth. If that is the case, it will eventually heal. Probably in 2 days.
