Hope no cancer: I suspect you do not have cancer but i prefer you let doc look at your throat. You may have irritation from the vapor. You may have strep throat. You will not be satisfied until a doctor examines you and reassures you. Good luck and do the right thing.

No: I don't believe so but it might be helpful if you go to your doctor and get examined and even obtain a culture from your throat.
