Looks like a fibrotic band with surrounding erythema
Also since you are not able to sing , it will be better to get a laryngoscopic examination
Can try taking a throat swab and sending for culture sensitivity if symptoms persist
Would have to examine the tonsils as well to see if its related to it. Neck nodes also if any have to be evaluated
Next Steps
Consultation is advisable
