Hi.
Noted your history of eating gutka, stopped it for some months,
dentist says okay dental health, but feeling slight pain in throat for the last 4 days and worried about cancer.
Gutka is a known agent that can cause cancer.
But the good news is there is no pain in initial period and you have pain that too slight for the last 4 days only.
Hence the cause is most probably
pharyngitis or
tonsillitis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and ENT
Endoscopy so that you can get the correct diagnosis and thus proper treatment for the cause.
This will also help to rule out any
throat cancer,
Do not start gutka again.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
