I've had a sore and scratchy throat for the last four months. I've seen multiple ENT specialists, and each one gave me a different diagnosis one said acid reflux, but I don't feel any heartburn, another found ethmoid sinusitis on a CT scan and suggested post nasal drip as the cause. He prescribed meds for a month and mentioned sinus surgery if it didn't improve, but I didn't go back because I don't want surgery. The next ENT did another CT scan, which showed sinusitis and lymphadenitis, but he said everything was normal and it's just an infection. I don't feel normal though, and after searching online, I'm worried about long-term sore throat being linked to cancer. Could this just be an infection, or is there a chance it's something more serious?

I've been feeling some pressure on the left side of my throat lately, and it's kind of hard to breathe at times, which makes me want to cough. There's this strange feeling on the left side of my chest too sometimes. I can still take deep breaths without any issues, but my pulse can be a bit high, like around 100 beats a minute. Generally, my health is fine, and the only medication I'm on is birth control pills. Should I be concerned about this? I'm traveling abroad right now and will be for the next two weeks, so I'm wondering if I need to do something about it or can wait until I'm back home.
