Can Flagyl/Vanco cause throat infection?
I have been having sore throat, hoarse voice and left tonsil is slightly swollen for past 6 weeks since I started the Flagyl/Vanco treatment. Cann’t remember if the sore throat started with Flagyl or Vanco. I had Flagyl for 8 days before switching to Vanco
Male 54, contracted C-Diff on Feb 5, 2020, diagnosed on March 2nd, Took Flagyl for 8 days, Vanco for 10 days, relapsed 5 weeks post-Vanco. finished Dificid Taper on June 20 relapsed two weeks later, had the FMT on July 14th, 2020

Both of the antibiotics can cause oral thrush, that is, a yeast infection. Usually you have a white film in your mouth from that. I would call your doctor and ask. I have not heard of it causing a sore throat.

According to the internet Vancomycin can cause flu like symptoms including sore throat. Apparently flagyl can also can cause a sore throat, but "is a rare but serious side effect that you should let your doctor know about."
So maybe let your doctor know in case it is a side effect, or is Oral thrust as Beth stated, and keep in mind we are still in allergy season too.

When I was on flagyl I got a horrible case of oral thrush that wouldn’t go away, I finally had to see my doctor about it and get medicine. I was able to see the bumps on the back of my tongue/throat and my tongue was white/yellow.
