Throat issues
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.
