Hi, I have just noticed a yellow mucus on my throat and a little on my tongue. It is located where my tonsils would be (had them removed years ago). My throat doesn t really hurt, a little sore. I ve been coughing a little bit this past week. No other symptoms that I ve noticed. I just want to know if I can still get tonsilitis after having them removed or if it may be strep or at worst case, throat cancer? I don t smoke but did dip for a few years (never swallowed the spit and recently quit) so obviously I m hoping it s not that... Just a little scared and looking for some advice. Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much about cancer. As these are not symptoms of throat cancer. So be relaxed and calm. You are having throat infection.  Mostly bacterial as yellow phlegm is there. May be due to streptococcal infection but not due to cancer for sure. So take antibiotic and antihistamine Chat Doctor.
