I've been chewing tobacco for a couple years and every once in a while I get a strange burning/stinging sensation in the back of my throat when I swallow spit.
Im not sure if it's just a common cold or something eles...

Do you think that we have contracted HPV in the throat area? I think so.
My dad had the same symptoms of having sore throat that did not go away. Several trips to the doctor and they keep saying its acid refluX. They always use acid reflux as a scape goat!! even I can diagnose myself with acid reflux!
Long story short, he got diagnosed with throat cancer almost a year later. By the time they got to it, it was too late coz it was too big to operate on.
Be pushy with the doctors! Theyre just lazy to do extra tests all the time..
Any sore throat that does not go away for weeks is not a good sign.

I've had a feeling like a lump in my throat for three weeks now. Feels like something stuck and annoying. Of course my first though it that I may have throat cancer. Ive had an endoscopy a month before it started and they saw nothing. I know someone that had cancer and they told me that they found that lemon juice and water was as effective as chemotherapy. I've been drinking a strong mixture of lemon juice and a little water twice a day for three days now and gargling with salt water. The feeling is almost gone. It is easier to swallow and less discomfort already. I drink water from a plastic jug every day and clean it constantly, but was told that even cleaning it with bleach won't keep bacteria from growing in the pores of the plastic. So when I started with the lemon juice I threw it away and I believe that may have been the problem. I've also been told by doctor friends that if you burn or cut your throat it can take a very long time to heal and feel as I've described. Gargling with salt water will be the first advice from any good doctor. Hope this helps anyone that may immediately think the worst like I did. Also I have a relative that worked in a hospital with cancer patients that told me that if you had throat cancer you can smell it on their breath and smells very bad.
me too what can we do

I have the ssame exact issue and I'm freaking out thinking it's esophageal cancer and what not. I just went and got blood work done as well. I can eat, breathe, and swallow just fine. It feels better after I eat and drink actually. Weird.
my cousin had symptoms like that, and continuous heartburn and she later found out she had esophagal cancer. they continued to tell her it was acid reflux and all this other stuff, but it wasnt
My dad just died from throat cancer last November. It was a lump in his throat on the right side. He was 72 and smoked and drank his whole life. I'm 41 and live the same lifestyle and for one week now have had a sore inside my throat on the right side. I'm scared that its cancer. Dad died less that 8 months after discovering the sore lump.
I have the same symptoms!! I'm worried about throat cancer also. But I don't have really any redness or anything that looks strange , no color change or any bumps?
I have been having trouble swallowing just liquids. When I eat it feels like it wont go down. Some of the food is still up in my throat and then it all comes back up. Been several months but didnt think anything of it because it was so bad. Noe it's almost every other day.
