During this pandemic: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza or other virus, or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor (call first) if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. COVID-19 infections tend to have cough, whereas strep throat usually lacks cough but has more throat pain. (3/21/20)

Immune booster : There is no known immune booster. If your throat soreness gets worse and/or you develop additional respiratory symptoms, you could have a number of routine causes of this like other viruses, allergy and sometimes bacteria that can be treated. Seek further advice if symptoms increase or other new symptoms like fever or cough.
