A member asked:
I feel like something is stuck in my throat for the past few days, should i worry about something serious like cancer? or wait & c if goes away?

Unusual: It is unusual for someone that is 25 years old with no medical problems to have throat cancer. You also do not have risk factors such as smoking or alcohol use? If it does not go away and is bothersome, you should check with your doctor. There are other conditions that could lead to the sensation that you describe.
