Sore Throat

Hi
Can sore throat be a symptom of anxiety. It has been 12 days since I had protected sex and I feel that my throat is sore. During no part of sex did I use my mouth for anything. .

Feeling like you have a lump in your throat or difficulty swallowing can be an anxeity symptoms but if you had anxiety, you would have other symptoms as well.  The sore throat has nothing to do with your protected sex.  You most likely have a NORMAL run of the mill infection that is causing you to have a sore throat.  12 days is quite a while, so go to the doctor so they can get a look at your throat.
