Does Recurring Sore Throat And Ear Ache Indicate Throat Cancer?
I have been having a recurring sore throat and ear ache for 6 months now. It feels like there is something inside my throat on the left side. I am young so my doctor keeps treating it as a cold or virus. It seems like more. How would I get tested for possible throat cancer?

Hello,
Sore throat is not at all a sign of throat cancer. Most probably it will be pharyngitis. As of now, you can do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.
Consult an ent specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
