HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different causes for sore throat such as trauma, infection (usually viral), allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disease.

If there is no history of allergies, then it is most likely due to infection. Viral infections can also be associated with muscle aches and pains.

You may want to consider the use of an anti inflammatory pain killer to help to relieve your discomfort. Some examples are ibuprofen, cataflam , aspirin or naproxen.

Other cough and cold symptoms may also occur.

I hope this helps
