He told me i have post nasal drip thats why i'm having throat irritation and imflammation in throat and he gave me one month medicine and suggest me if we wont find any changes then we need to go for sinus surgery. But i dnt want surgery thats why i never return to dat doctor. Then i change my doctor and went to another ent specialist he order me to do ct scan.. and that resultes as same sinusitis and lymphadenitis .. then my doctor told me that everything is normal . You having juss infection . But i dont feel normal .. actually i searched lot on google and find long term sore throat related to cancer . Does it means dat having only sore throat is cancer??

It is very unlikely that cancer presents with sore throat. Persistent sore throat, frequent throat clearing, foreign body sensation in throat, dry cough are usually symptoms of reflux laryngopharyngitis which can many times present without any symptoms of gastritis or heart burn. You should take higher doses of anti reflux medications for few weeks  for some Benefits

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
