I'm feeling this heaviness or pressure on the right side of my throat, like there's some pain there. There's no fever, cough, or anything like that. When I press on it, I feel something like a bean moving upward when I swallow. I only notice it when I swallow something. Could it be a gland or a tumor? If it were throat cancer, wouldn't I have a cough, fever, or other symptoms? I'm really scared. Can you tell me what the exact symptoms of throat cancer are?
