I've been waking up the past couple of mornings feeling like my throat is really blocked, and when I cough, there's some blood. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?

I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?

That could be Pharyngitis or tonsillitis visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
