See a dentist: The cavity (hole) in your tooth may be related to thee soreness. In any case it needs to be treated. See a dentist as soon as possible.

2 separate issues: and should be treated separately. 1. Most mild sore throats are caused by a minor illness and go away without medical treatment. See your GP, if concerned. 2. A tooth cavity is permanent damage that a dentist has to repair with a filling or other treatment. See your DDS.

See you dentist: If the pain is in the same location as the tooth, it may be from an infected tooth. See your dentist for an exam and diagnosis.
