Hi
Thank you for writing to Health care Magic
Soreness, pain and dryness of the throat is because of inflammation of the throat caused by infection.
These symptoms will resolve with treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Along with the medical treatment the use of salt water gargling will provide symptomatic relief.
Hope this is helpful to you. Do write to me for further questions and I will be happy to help.
Thank you
