It could mean any number of things, since mild colds and flu infections can give a sore throat or it could mean a bacterial infection. Sore throats can be caused by low humidity in the air in winter when heaters dry the air. And they can be caused by Allergies, post nasal drip, and other irritations to the mucous tissue (like smoking can cause). There are also more unusual conditions that may start with a sore throat. Try some warm salt water as a gargle and see if it soothes it some (it may take several uses before you notice the improvement). If this persists, you should seek medical attention from a health professional.
If you are a smoker, it could mean your body is trying to tell you to something, like: "HEY BRAIN, THIS IS YOUR BODY SPEAKING! I'M A LITTLE UPSET AT HOW MUCH YOU ABUSE ME! I WISH YOU WOULD STOP!"
