Mild pain in upper left throat

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

I am experiencing mild pain in my upper left throat for the past 4 months. I don't face any difficulty swallowing or speaking.I occasionally smoke. I have been diagnosed with acute pharyngitis in the past. Whenever I do mock (dry) swallowing it pains mildly. However I don't feel any lump or protrusion on the side it pains. What can be the reason for this pain? Do I need to worry? Should I undergo some tests to diagnose it?
