ReneeDear, welcome to the site. Hope its just nothing. I would suggest waiting for the two weeks and if it lingers, get it checked out by an ENT experienced with cancer. At a comprehensive cancer center, if possible. I was lucky, the ENT I first saw had been trained at the cancer center I ended up being treated at, so he was very knowledgeable about cancer and spotted it first thing.

Glad you are now an ex-smoker. I smoked for over 40 years before quiting the morning of my tonsilectomy. Will pray this is just a wakeup call for you and not a cancer call.
