General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sore throat could have been caused due to inflammation of the mucosa of pharynx. You can do the following to overcome it.

1. Salt water gargling with warm water thrice daily.
2. Take mucolytic agent containing syrup like Ambroxol thrice daily.
3. Consume medicated lozanges when necessary. Gradually, you should be able to overcome it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
