Brief Answer:
Start a short course of antibiotics

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Sore throat is a kind of bacterial infection caused mainly by streptococcus. Nothing much to worry as it will respond well with antibiotics.

We have to rule out other conditions like severe acid reflux which can also present with similar symptoms. Other possibility is an aphthous ulcer/canker sore in the throat.
You can start on a short course of antibiotics preferably Amoxclav for five days. Do warm saline gargles and take antihistamines like Cetrizine for symptomatic relief. You can take Ibuprofen or Paracetamol for pain and discomfort.
You can also take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole also.
Generally the symptoms will settle in three to four days.
If symptoms persist, you can consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
