Cancer unlikely: If your doctor who examined you is not concerned about throat cancer, you should not be either. Do check you hemoglobin level as iron deficiency can sometimes cause such symptoms. If you are menstruating, it would be prudent for you to take oral iron supplements and multivitamin and you may wish to try that for at least three months. The supplements are available over the counter.
