Throat issues

2017-06-28 18:14:50
Doctors said that I have severe pharyngitis when I first visited him. But after three months and 4 checkups I've still not recovered. I'm worried and depressed about probably having cancer. There's a lump/something stuck feeling in throat. I can see some white spots/canker sores in the back of my mouth too. There's some neck and back pain since three weeks. Should I be worried? Hope to get some advice. Thanks in advance.

Patient has a right to have second opinion! If previous treatment is not helping, then other investigations needs to be done. Lump/something stuck feeling in throat is a common sign for cancer, however further investigations must be done to prove it.
