Brief Answer:
Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of sore throat due to viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more in your case.
So do following things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
3. Take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti inflammatory (paracetamol).
4. Also take broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or Azithromycin.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
