Swallowing problems, sore throat is a sign of throat cancer?

Ask
Hello doctor. I had trouble swallowing with sore throat, cough and sore throat. I took antibiotics and my cough went away, but when I touched my throat, I felt it rise, when I spoke, I found myself repeating words, almost stuttering. The doctor told me it was a sign of nasopharyngeal cancer? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. Thank you.

Hello!
According to the symptoms you describe, you have symptoms of difficulty swallowing. Swallowing problems is only one symptom of cancer of the pharynx - larynx . Swallowing problems is also a possible symptom in pharyngitis,...
To determine whether you have cancer or not, you should see an Ear - Nose - Throat specialist, perform an endoscopy and evaluate the pathology. .
