Sore throat : Possibly strep throat or mononucleosis. I would get to a doctor to get checked and get an antibiotic if appropriate.

Virus: Sounds viral and unrelated to wisdom teeth extractions. Should heal within 7-10 days. Drink plenty of fluids, soft diet and palliative care. Dentist can prescribe mouthwash to give relief.

Relax, Canker sores: Most mouth ulcers, canker sores, will clear up by themselves within a week or two. You should see your GP or dentist if the ulcer gets worse or lasts for longer than 2 weeks. Take care.

Sores: If in mouth area, see your Dentist. If in throat area, see your Physician. You must be examined to determine if problem is virul or bacterial, and the appropriate treatment.
