Symptoms Of Mouth/Oral Cancer

A patch of throat irritation, lump or thickness in the mouth, lips, or throat

Red or white patch in the mouth

Feeling that something is stuck in the throat

Difficulty chewing or swallowing

Difficulty moving the jaw or tongue

Numbness of the tongue or other oral

Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poorly or become uncomfortable

Pain in one ear without hearing loss

A person who has these symptoms for more than two weeks should see a dentist or oral cancer medical examination. In most cases, symptoms such as these do not mean cancer. Infection or another problem can cause similar symptoms. But it is important to get the symptoms checked, because if it is cancerous, it can be better managed if caught early.
