Redness in back of throat

[LonerIP]

I have redness in the back of throat but no pain is it throat cancer??????or could it be from me constantly clearing my throat?

It doesn't hurt to go to the doctor, but it's much more likely that you have a very mild infection, allergies or irritation than cancer. Don't panic!

Yes and ive been to the hospital twice last week for other panic attack reasons

<3 I'm so sorry. You are probably just fine physically.

Why would it be throat cancer at 21? This is usually caused by many years smoking. It might be an infection, is it painful? Are you getting help with your health anxiety ?
