Revisit your MD: Breathing through your mouth, if your nose is congested, can make your throat hurt. Try saline nasal spray, vaporizer, extra showers (for warm moist air benefit) and if not improved, see an ENT (ear nose throat doctor) Why are you concerned about cancer, was something said about a prior exam? If you smoke, STOP.
