What to do if i'm scared of having throat cancer!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a physician...: ...preferably an ENT, if you have persistent throat symptoms. If not, make sure your dentist and family doc evaluate your mouth and neck for lesions or enlarged nodes during their yearly examinations. Also, if you use tobacco products, stop immediately. Limit your use of alcohol and practice safe sex. Best to you.
