My throat felt like it burned after takin flu medicine.i only had a bit of sniffles & i took it in case i was gettin sic & then the burn came.allergy?

Not an allergy: Perhaps you have an ordinary viral upper respiratory infection. I sympathize with your desire to not come down with the flu since it is so debilitating but Flu medicine inappropriate unless you have classic symptoms which includes fever among others.
