HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Acute sore throat is most commonly due to infection or allergies with post nasal drip.
At this point you can consider a pain killer such as ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen to see if one of these may help.
Topical oral agents such as chloroseptic spray or gargle or covonia throat spray may also help.
I hope this helps
