I've had this feeling like something is stuck in my throat for the past week and it's really starting to worry me. I've got this habit of using tobacco and pan masala, and I'm scared it might be something serious like cancer. What do you think?

Stuck fish bone can be concerning!
Possible Risks
- Infection: If the bone remains in your throat, it can cause an infection, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, and increased pain.
- Abscess formation: In rare cases, the bone can cause an abscess to form in the throat.
Removal Methods
- Drink plenty of water: Encourage the bone to move down your throat by drinking plenty of water.
- Eat soft foods: Consume soft, sticky foods like bananas, yogurt, or marshmallows to help dislodge the bone.
- Try the "cough and swallow" method: Cough gently and then swallow to try to dislodge the bone.
Medical Attention
- Visit an ENT specialist: If you're unsure whether the bone is still stuck or if you experience severe symptoms, consult an ENT specialist.
- Endoscopy or X-ray: The doctor may perform an endoscopy or X-ray to locate the bone and determine the best course of action.
When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
- Severe pain or difficulty swallowing
- Shortness of breath
- Fever or chills
- Blood in your saliva or cough

View allI've been noticing a bit of blood in my saliva when I spit in the mornings, usually just in the first few spits, and then it doesn't happen again throughout the day. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough or pain. I've never smoked or used tobacco, and I don't drink alcohol either. This has been going on for about a week now, but it doesnt happen every single day, maybe once every couple of days. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this, hoping it's nothing serious. Any ideas?
Yes as your doctor said that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.
