Hello,
Extreme sore throat may be due to throat infection or impacted wisdom tooth which is inflammed.
I would suggest you to gargle frequently with warm saline.
Avoid intake of spicy foods.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Rinse your mouth after every meals.
Please do visit a dentist or ENT specialist for further treatment.
Take care.
