A member asked:
I've been getting earaches and throat pain could this be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible...: ...Particularly if you are a smoker/drinker. Would be somewhat unusual at your age though. Only way to find out for sure is to get evaluated by your physician. If a cause can't easily be determined by your primary doc, he will likely refer you to a specialist.
