throat pain for few days usually indicated acute infective pathology which could be easily cured and regarding patches the pictures is not that clear so yes you have to visit an ENT specialist to get proper treatment
Health Tips
do warm saline gargles, avoid cold food.

it looks like an infection. you will need a course of antibiotics but it would be best to visit a doctor so he/she can prescribe medication.
