That certainly can: Happen. Saltwater gargles are very helpful. Mix a teaspoon of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle with this several times a day. For significant symptoms seek medical eval.

No: Well, sore throat is never normal. There are many possible causes of soreness on one side of throat, starting with trauma, scratch, local infection. There can be more serious causes so see your doctor.
