Yes: It is fine to take vitamins when you have a sore throat. If you have a sore throat with white patches you probably need to see your doctor and be tested to make sure that you do not have strep.

Sore throat/ patches: If you have white patches I would seek medical attention within 24 hours at urgent care/doctor as you likely need antibiotics. Vit C can augment healing but you need to seek medical attention first.
