Too much marijuana, really sore throat?

ok so last week i smoked a good bit of pot, up to 3 times a day. lately i havent been doing it as often so i dont think my body was use to it. i started to get a sore throat tuesday and its been pretty bad since like thursday. im pretty sure this is because of the excessive smoking but i'm just checking. anybody else ever have this happen? my moms making me get checked for strep, is there anyway this could have led t strep? will meds for strep help my throat? and yes i have quit smoking till it heals, but im not gonna lie, the best remedy for a sore throat is marijuana. no joke. i'd just vaporize or eat it instead of smoking though. thanks!
