For the last few days, my throat has been sore on and off. It came on gradually and then went away after a day, then the next day came back. I figured it was just a run-of-the-mill sore throat at first, but it doesn't come with any other symptoms. It doesn't hurt to talk or eat, it's just when I swallow or move my head in certain ways. And today I noticed that my throat only hurts in one distinct area, focused on the right side of my throat about 2 inches below the adam's apple. It's not a scratchy or sharp pain; more like a dull, sore pain.
I immediately thought of worst-case scenario being throat cancer, which I know it isn't since I don't smoke or anything and I'm only 22, but I'm paranoid like that.
The only changes in my daily routine that I can think of is the fact that I've been taking an antihistamine for a week or so, but this doesn't seem like your typical side effect. So I guess I was wondering if anyone had any insight to provide before I go visit the doctor (I've already scheduled an appointment).
