I have been treating a sore throat that has not improved for the past few weeks. Now my swallowing abilities have been reduced. I am worried if this is a throat cancer. Kindly help me.

Throat cancer symptoms typically include a persistent sore throat, hoarseness or a change in voice, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, a lump or swelling in the neck, a persistent cough (which may produce blood), ear pain, and breathing difficulties.
These symptoms can also be indicative of less serious conditions, but if they persist, especially for more than two weeks, it’s important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in throat cancer.
