Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the throat can be because of the bacterial infection or fungal infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. The repeated infection can be because of any defect in the immune system, particularly diabetes. So get your blood sugar level checked. If it is a bacterial infection, it can be treated with a course of antibiotics like azithromycin and if it is a fungal infection, it can be treated with antifungal agents like clotrimazole.
Do saline gargling, nothing to worry, it is not a cancer.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
