What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing With Black Spot On The Tonsils?

I am a 38 yr old female who smokes approx 5 cigarettes/day and drinks moderately. I have had a sensation of something in my throat that I can't seem to swallow. Also my glands are slightly swollen and now it appears that I have a black spot on my right tonsil. My throat feels dry but no pain and no trouble swallowing. I have no history of cancer in my family, however, I'm really worried.

Welcome to HCQ, I have gone through your query and i would suggest not to panic with cancer. It could also be sore / allergic throat but I would suggest you to visit the ENT specialist and get the doubts cleared.
