Hi,
According to your history your sore throat is not more than one week, no need to worry as such right now as an episode of sore throat usually lasts for a week to ten days. But yes if the symptoms remains for more than 3 week, you should see an ENT specialist for opinion, even it may not be because of your kiss.
Drink lots of water and frequently, it will help your throat to get back to normal.
