I'm 24 years old and stopped smoking 5-6 weeks ago. I had whiteish yellow lumps that came off the right side of my throat (I had my tonsils removed when I was 3) where my tonsil would be. Now my I'm convinced there's a lump in my throat. I also have a strange pain in my ear when I move my jaw in a certain way. I also think a wisdom tooth is coming through. My doctor has looked and side everything looks fine. I'm really starting to worry now that I've got throat cancer, and I'm getting to the stage where I think it's all in my mind
