Throat pain
First the pain (mild) started in my ear then it went away but on the left side just under my chin it started hurting ( moderate pain) wherever I swallow or try to stretch my neck . It happend 3 to 4 time within 4 to 6 month sometimes in left side and sometime in right side some time at the back of my neck.
I am taking medicine for abdominal t.b for 7 month.and there are swollen lymph nodes in my neck.
is it related?
I have heard these symptoms are similar to throat cancer symptoms.
What should I do now?
