Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.

As said by your consulting doctor, common cause of sore throat is viruses and are self Limiting illness only symptomatic treatment is required.

Presently, I would suggest you to drink plenty of water especially warm water. Warm salt water gargling 3 to 4 times a day. Sucking lozenges like Strepsil or Cofsil will be beneficial. You can ask the drug store for lozanges, different brand may be available at your place, it will serve the purpose of soothing your throat and reducing your symptom. You can take table spoon of honey with warm water every morning. With this measures your symptoms should reduce.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
