Hi. You may have throat irritation due to a viral infection or acid reflux. Brownish or yellowish specks are likely due to overnight accumulation of phlegm during sore throat.
Next Steps
Gargle your throat using lukewarm water with rock salt for atleast 3-4times a day. Report to doctor if there is persistent problem or new fever or cough.
Avoid spicy and oily foods at night especially late night
Avoid carbonated beverages or cold drinks
Reduce coffee intake
Don’t sleep immediately after having dinner.
Drink plenty of water
