Hi,
How are you? Most cases of sore throat can indeed be due to a viral infection, such as  part of flu or colds. With rest and plenty of fluids, this usually subsides within a week.  Recurrent sore throat, on the other hand, can be due to allergic reaction, irritation, smoking or from infectious mononucleosisis.  Infectious mononucleosis or  kissing disease, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It presents with  fever, sore throat and fatigue.Check with your doctor for proper evaluation.Take care and do keep us posted.
