Health anxiety
Hello Doctor, I would like to consult you regarding a throat issue that has been troubling me. I have been a smoker for the past 6 years. In 2023, I noticed small lumps on my palatopharyngeal arch and consulted an ENT specialist. I was prescribed medications, including Sporlac powder, and was told it was due to irritation. After that, I had a habit of consuming alcohol daily and frequently eating spicy and oily foods, and I used to lie down immediately after meals. I have stopped alcohol since mid-2025, but I am still unable to quit smoking. Currently, I continue to notice the lumps along with throat irritation, which is causing me significant anxiety. I am worried whether this condition is serious or could develop into cancer, and it is affecting my concentration at work. I would like your guidance on whether this is due to chronic irritation or something serious, if there is any risk of cancer. Have u treated similar cases and I need elaborate answers only. Please help me 93xxxxxx09
