It is.possibility of both. Difficult to diagnose from history, examination needed.
Your sore throat can be due to some infection causing pharyngitis which leads to all symptoms you described.
However cancer can cause such symptoms.If hoarseness of voice there , consult your doctor immidiately.
Afer a course of antibiotic if symtoms resolved and do not recurre again in short time less possibilty of cancer.
So consult ENT surgeon(otorhinologist) as soon as possible for best outcome of your problem.
