Cough.: While I wouldn’t think cancer first and foremost in this context, I do think you have something that requires more investigation as there may be a simple treatment option for you. This could just be allergies. Or maybe a bacterial infection. Or a post-tussive cough.

Good day. I have had a sore throat since Friday and my chest started feeling a little tender last night. Do you think I should be tested for the corona virus. I have just started to have a dry cough. Not coughing much?
