Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
Don't worry about unnecessary future happenings. You are not a trained doctor. Leave the dignosis to a doctor.
The symptoms you mentioned simply might be common cold and sore throat or most likely inflamed tonsils. Thats all.
But to be sure, you need to consult a general physician. Don't assume that you have some dreaded disease. STOP SMOKING for your good.
Get well soon.
