  Yes, it is possible for you to get sore throat because of eyes infection. It is normal because the throat nerves and eye nerves are interlinked. When you use the eye drops, your mouth may taste something. You could use the eye drops to get rid of the invisible bacterium in the eyes. You could also use the warm compress to make your eyes feel comfortable.

  Ok, it is true that sometimes eye infections would give rise to a sore throat, the primary reason is that the five sense organs are interconnected, which means that one parts fails, other four parts might be affected. But it also depends on how serious your problem is. Speaking of your case, I recommend that you try to take some medications for both your throat and eye infections. And you should pay attention to your rest and diet.
