A sore throat that won't go

I've a chronic allergy with the stuffy nose, difficulty in swallowing which thanks to god is getting better. But well these days I started to feel soreness in my throat that becomes less sorely when I drink warm tea with honey, or gargle with salt and water. I've searched in Google and all the answers suggest one thing "Throat Cancer". I want to go and visit the doctor and do some check ups but I'm really afraid that it turns out to be cancer.
So please I need some help regarding this matter before going to college.

I stopped taking the pills cuz I really got bored and what's funny I've been getting better since then. I've already visited my doctor and I'm taking some antibiotics and I'm doing better now, no sore throat anymore. Thanks a lot for answering my question, you really helped me. Thank you!!!

In my opinion, I doubt this is any cancer, but more related to allergy problems.

Why did you stop taking the antihistamine pills?  

I would recommend you consult a physician about this before going off to college.

I mostly take OTC pills, like Dimetane, Claritin. Sprays either Nasarel or NasalCrom for my allergy and some other antihistamine that the doctor told to have which I really don't remember the name of the pills cuz I stopped taking it. Regarding the sore throat it have been like two weeks now and still did fn't go. Should I really go and visit the doctor?
