What Causes Persistent Sore Throat And Blood Blisters In Mouth?

Hi I m wondering if I can ask a few question? I m petrified I hae throat cancer, I m 24 non smoker and non drinker, I ve had a sore throat for 3 years, it feels as though it burns throughout the day all day every day, right at the front of my throat, I ve tried numerous things and nothing seems to help it, no other symptoms just a constant sore throat, also been to see my doctor a few times where she felt my throat and had a look and just assures me it s okay, I ve tried acid reflux tablets it dosent work, also depression tablets what are not working I m scared to have the camera even though it will put me at rest I m just scared, is there anything you can suggest before I make the decision weather to go ahead? As I really don t want to. It s fixed in my head it s cancer like I said I have no lump I m just clearing out my throat a lot and it burns, I also grind my teeth a lot at night and keep getting blood blisters at the side of my mouth where I m biting down in my sleep, could this be the cause at all? Any help would be apriciated x

Please, do not be afraid. The way you are mentioning it, doesnt seem to be acancer. neither age nor history is in favour of cancer. persistent sore throat can be due to so many reasons most of which are not at all dangerous. try anti allergics with disprin gargles for continuous 14 days. during this period, do not try to clear throat repeatedly. this will definitely help you. if not you can go for endoscopywhich can diagnose other conditions also other that cancer.
in your case malignancy will be last in my list.
