Non-food allergy : Pollen, grass, cat/dog and dust allergies may cause sore throat in addition to a stuffy, +/- runny nose, depending on how they affect an allergy sufferer. When your nose is stuffy, it can "affect" your vocal quality or how you hear internal and external sounds. Kind of like when you have a cold.

Possible: Season and year round allergens can cause a myriad of problems. Nasal symptoms: itchiness, sneezing, post nasal drip, sore throat, nasal stuffiness. Ear: stuffiness, popping , itchiness; eyes: itchy, red watery chest: cough, shortness of breath, wheezing.

Yes, secondarily: A strong exposure to an airborne allergen can cause drainage which when snorting, mouth breathing, throat clearing, then cause throat soreness. I have personally had heavy exposure to dust mite (a borrowed pillow) and woke up the next morning with a raw throat.
