I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND SHE CALLED IN 5 DAY PACKAGE OF ANTIBOTICS. THEY ARE NOT HELPING AND THE BLISTER HAS TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A SKIN TAG AT THE BACK OF MY THROAT. AND MY THROAT IS STILL SORE ....... I AM A 52 YR OLD SMOKER. dO I HAVE CANCER?
Hi there, If i was your doctor i would have liked to examine your throat carefully. Secondly i would have liked to perform FNAC on the blister on the side of uvula that u mentioned. Only on the histology report we can say for sure if you are suffering from cancer or not. Regards, Dr. Ammar
