Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Apple cider is very good for health provided it is taken in the correct amounts. It looks like you have overdosed yourself with that. Yes, sore throat could be a side effect of apple cider. It causes slow digestion but in your case it looks like indigestion. Stop taking apple cider for some time.
Take small amount of meals 3-4 times a day, stay away from junk food, take soups & oil free nutritious food. Take antacids & Pantoprazole-40, once daily for relieve. For sore throat you can take some cough syrup & antibiotics. Visit ER, get examined & take medications. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
