I drank and smoked a lot the other night, and I ended up vomiting pretty badly. I also smoked and drank again later that night. Since then, I've had a sore throat, but what really worried me was when I noticed traces of blood when I cleared my throat a few times yesterday. It's not happening anymore, but it got me thinking. Could this be something serious, like throat cancer, or is it just because I hurt my throat from the drinking and smoking binge? Now I just have a sore throat, and every now and then, I feel this random pinch in my left chest muscle. Should I be worried?

That could be Pharyngitis consume warm foods and maintain oral hygiene if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
