taking plenty of fluids and ORS and juicy fruits should help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and the image, I can understand your concerns.

The relationship between a sore throat and the twitches is only indirect. It could be due to an electrolyte imbalance which could have developed as a sequel of a sore throat. If that is the case, taking plenty of fluids and ORS (oral rehydration solution) and juicy fruits like citrus fruits should help in easing out the symptoms.

Let me know if I could help further.
