A member asked:

Using marijuana vaporizer lately. throat is sore & irritated on right side, it radiates to ear. not painful. usually when i get sore throat it's with a cold virus, not this time. cancer?

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.
