Hi,
A sore throat is not related to thyroid drug and it might be due to bacterial infection.
As the first line of management, you can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, consult a GP and start on antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
