Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tissue tag fro, the throat can be because of the fungal infection like candidiasis. Nothing to be panic, it is not a cancer. Consult and ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If it is a candidiasis, then you can use topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole. Do saline gargling and maintain oral hygiene.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
