Sore throat following taking Viagra is rare, but can occur with few. You had not mentioned at what dose you are trying the same. It is available as 25, 50 and 100 mg tablets. Try to reduce the dose of viagra and see whether still you are having similar problem or not.
Sometimes sore throat is possible to acquire from your partner through an air born infection during close intimacy and kissing.
Consult your ENT surgeon for appropriate treatment for sore throat
