Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore throat can occur due to causes like throat infection caused by bacteria or virus, post nasal drip, acid reflux etc..
It can also be seen in case of cancer but is not the only symptoms and is accompanied by a number of other signs and symptoms..
As of now it does not seems to be cancer.

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
Suck throat lozenges and sip on warm water..
Avoid chewing tobacco as the chemicals present in it can cause throat irritation and cause increase in soreness..
In case of addiction you can go for nicotine replacement therapy like using nicotine skin patches and chewing gums..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
