Yes, but not necessarily always. A sore throat is a sign that globulins are being produced. Globulins help your body fight infection and are graded depending on the severity of the infection. For example, alphaglobulins are produced in mild infections and gammaglobulins in more severe or prolonged infection. The receptors for these are found in the tonsils and nose. This makes perfect sense, as the mouth and nose are common areas for infection to enter the body. If the production of globulins does not help fight infection, the body will raise its temperature (fever) as an inflammatory response in a hope that high temperature will kill off the invading bacteria or virus, which can only usually grow withina narrow temperature range.
