Depends on what: the underlying cause for sore throat is. A chronic infection like oral thrush can go on for weeks, and so does acid reflux. Post viral sore throat can last days but should not persist beyond a week or 10 days. If there is herpetic lesions, or strep infection intially, the inflammation can persist for a month or more. You would need to get help from professional healthcare provider.
