Well it can be norma: Having a sensation of pain or swelling of your throat can be from a cold. But if it is persistent and causes you to have a cough or pain on swallowing is not normal. You should see your doctor. Sometimes dysphagia can be from many things which you need to be on top of rather than wait for other symptoms to present.
