Keep in mind, when two things happen in the time frame, they are not always related.  :)   There is a super-nasty cold going around right now that that morphs easily into sinus infections -- I just had it for 18 days, when my usual cold takes about 7 to get over.  If you have that, I'm sorry!  Get a lot of rest to head off the secondary infection.

A virus like a cold.  Just breathing is not likely to do it, however.

You might have gotten a virus, or the flu.  Keep in mind also that you might have a sore throat independently of whether you breathed in when he was coughing.
