Persistent left side throat and Ear pain
My left side of throat feels painful while swallowing since 7-8 months , my left ear pains too and feels like one side of soft palate is sore, been to two ENTs and they said it's pharyngitis. But I am fearful of CANCER , does pharyngitis last for so long.

The phayngitis can be there intermittently for A very long time if you have just taken antibiotics and are still being exposed to causes triggering the inflammation in your throat.
