I smoked for 8 years. But I quit it for the last 40 days. Now I am seeing a white mark near my tonsil. Is it a symptom to throat cancer if yes then please tell me some medicines for this.

You have leukoplakia in your mouth and although it can be a usual sign of cancer, this may not be your case. You need to do a biopsy of the plaque and confirm it is not cancerous and a surgeon can do the biopsy.
