It's possible that your friend might have acquired a moderately sore throat from other bacteria such as would be present for a yeast infection. But, without seeking expert medical attention from competent medical folks, the source of your friend's throat infection cannot be determined.
If your friend's sore throat remains moderately sore or becomes more remarkably sore 3 to 5 days after initial contact, he needs to seek medical care which would involve a throat culture to determine the source of the inflammation.
I would also be concerned if your friend had a slightly elevated body temperature indicating an infection of some sort.
