The throat can be very sore for a variety of reasons.  While we can speculate, a physical exam is likely necessary to make the correct diagnosis.  This problem can often be viral or bacterial.  You should definitely see a doctor if you have trouble breathing, cannot swallow water or your symptoms persist beyond a week.
