Strep throat or throat cancer? have used chew on and off for a year, history of cancer in my family but have all strep throat symptoms. could it be so

Possible strep: as all family members have sore throat all need to have strep screen and all need to be treated at the same time so it does not keep recurring

Interesting thoughts: Cancer from your chew would take years to develop and you are not old enough to be affected unless you started in kindergarten.Sore throat could be irritation from virus or strep. If you have fever and headache you ought to get checked.
