Yes, it can: However, many disorders have very similar symptoms. The main symptom of salivary gland disorders is irritated or swollen soft palate. See your doctor for evaluation, diagnosis and possible referral to a specialist.

GERD : GERD can cause soreness in the back of your throat and palate. GERD can be caused by sleep apnea. It is important to have this evaluated by your doctor or ENT.
