As per your complain sore throat and redness and burning inside mouth can be due to:
1.It can be due to throat infection and inflammation in throat many a times causes inflammation inside mouth causing redness and burning..
2.Another common can be Acid reflux that causes reflux of acid from stomach to throat and mouth and can cause throat irritation and also acid burning causes burning and inflamed tongue..

You can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and get treatment done accordingly..
As of now you can gargle with numbing mouthwash for relief from pain and inflammation..

Sucking ice and gargle with cool water can relieve burning and inflammation..
