Constant sore throat

Hi there,

I ve a sore throat for weeks now.I had some low grade temprature periods on and off ,ear aches, problems with swallowing. I took antibiotics,acid meds but it doesn't go away.

My gp made me do covid test was negative but wont see me and after reading some shared stories here I feel frightened. How can I make doctor to refer me for other tests and which tests are to exclude throat oral cancer.?

It's like living on an edge ,day by day.

Any advice is welcome.
