If you feel well in yourself apart from the throat then I say give it a go. Go easy on yourself and if it's too painful then stop - even a bit of a run is better than no run!
Normal guidance appears to be ok to run if symptoms above the neck only! Don't run if you think you have got anything viral or going hot and cold / running a temperature. But Katsmeat's advice is the best - if it hurts or it feels wrong stop.

Do the neck check, if all your symptoms are above the neck then run but if they are below eg chesty, don't run. You should never run if you have a cold or a fever.
If you choose to run, take water with you, take it easy and stop if you feel worse. faint or dizzy.
