So I’ve had throat pain for the last couple of weeks. It’s not the same as when you have a cold, it’s intermittent on the right hand side of my throat and almost feels outside my throat but in it at the same time. The pain comes and goes but often hurts when I swallow or eat food. I felt my throat muscle on that side today and I can feel a lump there! Panic now about throat cancer. Could it be muscular (I always have tension in my jaws, neck and shoulders)? Never had throat muscle pain before but wondering if it’s that? I’ve had a cough for last week so maybe that’s contributed? Just worried about the lump and the pain that keeps coming back
