Hi, I have been smoking (6-15 a day) and drinking for the last 1 year. Over the last few months, I have been having some pain on the right side of my throat (internal pain) and there is usually blood in my spit when I cough. I do not have the financial flexibility or the motivation to spend on a checkup or consultation and so have not got this checked yet. However if there is a reasonably high chance of a serious matter, kindly let me know so that I can plan accordingly. Thanks a lot for the favor you will be doing me by providing your consultation.
