Brief Answer:
It is not throat cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the photographs.
Thorat cancer is not seen at this age and is a disease of older people.
It can be an inflammatory swelling secondary to sore throat or a mucus cyst.
As of now you can do warm saline gargles two or three times a day. Avoid cold beverages.
You can wait for couple of weeks for spontaneous recovery.
Thanks
