A member asked:
Soreness on one side of my throat. i feel it mostly when swallowing. since 2-3 days. what can be the cause and what is the likelihood of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A sore throat on the side of the throat for 2-3 days is not likely cancer in a 23-year-old lady. Most likely it is a postnasal drip from a virus or allergy. See a doctor in person, like an ENT who can see your throat well
