Throat pain could be due to a variety of reasons, ranging from acute infection, to allergic reaction or tonsillolith (tonsillar stones) or reflux symptoms. It could also be referred pain from other site. Citing a long history of pain, i would suggest you consult a nearby physician and get yourself checked thoroughly.
The PET scan attached here shows the history of nephrectomy and abdominal pain. The second page mentioning the throat (head and neck) is missing, hence, no conclusion could be drawn from that. However, only local examination will suffice.
Next Steps
Do warm saline gargles three times a day till you visit the physician.
Health Tips
Not to scare you but a long history of pain could point to something not benign, get yourself checked immediately.
