Yeah it can, not necessarily from vomiting but speaking from personal experience: I’ve had acid reflux since I was in elementary school, that’s when stomach acid leaks up into your throat, and it was consistently misdiagnosed as asthma until I was in my 20s 🙄. Now I’m in my 30s and I have something called esophagitis, an even more painful condition that causes muscle spasms in my throat and makes eating difficult, caused by scarring from acid.
