The sore throat sounds like it may be from muscles when you have contractions as part of sneezing, however you may have somebody take a look to make sure if there is anything there. It may just be from dysfunction in the pharyngeal muscles.

A "sore throat" after sneezing may indicate viral or bacterial inflammation of the throat. See a physician for guidance and possible throat culture.
