I have a sore in the back left of my tongue, right where my throat starts, where my tonsil is. It appeared a few days ago and it hurts bad in the morning but as I gargle and talk (stretch it out) throughout the day it isn t as sore. How can Intel if it is cancer or tonsillitis?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your symptoms you might be suffering from sore throat with associated tonsillitis. You might have pain in swallowing also. You can do following remedy & treatment:-
1.Salt Water Gargle- Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
2.Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen/acetaminophen it will reduce pain & swelling.
3.You should also take antibiotic like Augmentin/Azithromycin also, As there may be secondary bacterial infection associated with it also.
4.sucking on cough drop can also help in soothening of throat.
Visit a ENT specialist, if problem persists.
Hope this information helps.
