Sore Throat After Cleaning

Well yesterday i had a cleaning done after few years. And my gum were pretty bad. They were inflamed and still are because of infections. The dental hyg said that he took care of it and throughout the whole process i was crying in pain and my gum were bleeding crazy but i guess it was worth it. Anyways today i started having a sore throat. I was wondering if this could be related to the cleaning i did yesterday?

Cleaning procedure is unlikely to cause your current symptomatology. Going back to your dentist to have an oral exam is advised.
