hi and thanks for the query,
there are 2 main cause for sore throat
1) infection.
2) acid reflux.
please see a physician to know the exact cause.
do not worry both are easy to treat.
if its reflux you will need antacids and prokinetic drugs and if it is infection you may need antibiotics.
till then do some warm salt water gargling 3 times daily and do not drink anything cold.

Dr Rajkishori
