Hello, doctor. Recently, I often have an itchy throat cough 1-2 times, 2 weeks ago my throat had a small sore that was very painful, after 2-3 days it was over, today I feel a lump in my throat. There are tiny particles like sand. Can I ask if this is cancer or a dangerous disease? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.
