Sore throat on only one side

I've had a mildly sore throat for a week, coupled with an occasional cough and a hoarse voice. the main symptom, though, is a feeling that something is lodged on the right side of my larynx. All the symptoms clearly originate from something amiss on the tight side. No fever, no lumps, no trouble swallowing. The irritation/sensation being only on the right, in such a discrete area, is making me worry I've got a tumor in there. I did visit an ENT, but she hardly looked at my throat at all and said it was probably just a result of coughing hard.
