Hello doctor. I have been having sore throat, cough and cold for the past 3 weeks. I was on medication and I got slightly better. But still the sore throat is present along with cold and I have cough at night. I smoke 1 cigarette a day. But now I have stopped that for the past 3-4 days. Whenever I clear my throat I get phlegm. Im scared that I have a tumor as im a medical student myself.
