Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The soreness over the throat can be because of bacterial infection or it can be candidiasis (white spots). Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If it is bacterial infection, you need to take a course of antibiotics like levofloxacin(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care
