Little bit about myself, I'm 20 (F) 5'0", 106 lbs, White, and take no medications. Only medical conditions I have scoliosis. I've been a hypochondriac for a few years now, and every little symptom I feel, I convince myself is the worst case scenario.

I've been suffering with allergies badly this year, probably the worst they've ever been. And over the past week, I've been having throat problems. The left side of my throat has been sore, mostly when I yawn, and when I swallow after I yawn. Sometimes it hurts whenever I swallow, but not as often. I also feel like theres a lump in my throat, sometimes its a ball-like feeling, and other times is a sharp feeling.

I went to an urgent care, and they put it down to post nasal drip and gave me a prescription for allergy medication. I'm currently taking Xyzal for my allergies and they helped control them. But my throat has still been bothering me. It has gotten slightly better recently, and I took Advil dual action, and it's helped relieve some pain. But I'm terrified that this could be the start of throat cancer. I made an appointment with an ENT for later this week, and I'm terrified they will find something while examining my throat. I'm trying to convince myself that this isn't throat cancer, but I'm terrified that it is, and I don't know what to do.
