HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Acute sore throat is most commonly from infection (viral or bacterial), trauma (from food or drink), allergies.

IF you have a history of allergies and post nasal drip then treating these problems with an oral anti histamine and topical steroid nasal spray would help.

If there is no previous allergy history then you may want to consider the use of an anti inflammatory pain killer and monitoring the pain for any changes.
Examples would include ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen

I hope this helps
