Hello and thanks for posting the query
Sore throat is very common after constant vomiting episodes. Sore throat may occur due to vomit undigested material or acid reflex at the time of vomiting etc. To get rid from it follow some instructions:
1. Do regular lukewarm water gargles.
2. Avoid spicy, oily, sugary food products.
3. Avoid cold drinks or water. Always eat fresh and hygienic food.
4. An antibiotic course is needed if their is any sign of infection like fever, redness of throat. Consult your doctor for that.
5. If pain is severe Betadine gargles after every 1-2 hours helps a lot. Please consult your doctor before using it.
6. Take anti-inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen to reduce swelling and pain.
Hope this will help you. Write back for any follow up query.
