is there any chance that a post nasal drip would have anything to do with a very sore throat and burning mouth?

You can have a sore throat for many reasons. Often, colds and flu cause sore throats. Other causes can include:
* Allergies
* Mononucleosis
* Smoking
* Strep throat
* Tonsillitis - an infection in the tonsils
Treatment depends on the cause. Sucking on lozenges, drinking lots of liquids and gargling may ease the pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help, but children should not take aspirin.
Have you gone to a family doctor yet to seek a diagnosis? That might be the best next step.
