Can Post Nasal Drip Cause Swollen And Tender Throat?

I have the sensation of fluid dripping in the back of my throat and phlegm in my throat which, at times, seems to be causing some difficulty swallowing. My submandibular glands are swollen and tender on both sides. Is this simply caused by the post-nasal drip. If not, what else could it be?
