What Causes Sore Throat With Pink Eye?

Hi I have had pink eye for over a week, plus a sore throat. I was sick last week with hot cold sweats body aches, extreme tiredness, and respiratory. The respiratory, hot cold sweats, body aches are gone. However, I still have the sore throat, ( I was tested for strep- negative) and pink eye (2 types of drops later). I got the new eye drops day before yesterday.
