My boyfriend has just undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer .... he has had tonsils removed, lymph glands removed and still has the sore throat when swallowing , a feeling s if there is something at the back of the throat . A few weeks ago he had a camera up the nose and down the throat and found to have a lesion on the vocal cord ...he's waiting to go have another biopsie on this , do you think this could be another case of cancer ?
Hi a couple of months ago I had an infection that caused a swollen lymph which has gone down. The lymph node was from infected tonsils. I had lumps and bumps on the back of my throat that I still there even after I had my tonsils out 4weeks ago. I have a skin coloured bump that has been on the tongue for over a month.
my throat has been hurting and now i looked in it and deep in there i see a pink lump its not my tonsils i know what they look like its more in the middle everytime i eat i vomit it back up i feel i have cold sweats at night and im only 17 so im not thinking cancer but i do smoke and have smoked for a while now someone please just give me an answer
I have been so worried about the possibility of having throat or tongue cancer. I have these two pinkish lumps on left side of my throat in the area where my tonsils used to be. I had a tonsillectomy 11 years ago. I am now 23 years old. I did smoke off and on as a teenager and drank moderately. My throat has been red for a while now but I also have allergies/ post nasal drip and acid reflux. I have been getting a sharp pain in left ear that comes and goes.
Just recently ive looked in my mouth with a flashlight and noticed that the very back of my throat looks like its infected. The back looks red and the tonsils are also red. The back base of my tongue looks very white. I also notice what looks like a yellowish white zit looking thing near the tonsils. The tonsils themselves look very bumpy, discolored,and infected. It looks like thwy are eother growing larger or there is growth forming on them which in return worries me.
I have looked up pictures of strep throat and of oral cancer and it looks like cancer. I am scared that I have contracted hpv and now am developing orpharyngeal cancer.
I also read about hiv causing most of oral problems and I was tested in March and came back negative. I also tested myself with an in home kit last month and it was negative.
My question is what do I need to do in my next step? Go to a gyno? Ask for std testing? See an ent doc? See a cancer specialist? Get a shot for hpv?
Throat cancers are classified according to their cell structure and are most often named after the area in which the cancer is growing. For example, cancer of the tonsils is called tonsil cancer.
The location of the cancer often determines the patient's prognosis, as throat cancers in certain locations are more aggressive than other throat cancers. The stage of the throat cancer is also important to recovery, as cancer is easiest to cure when it is caught in its early stages.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
The swelling and discomfort could be due to a throat infection. It's unlikely to be due to throat cancer. White patches are common in many throat infections. The sore throat and tonsillitis which your son had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tonsils called crypts. Repeated salt water gargles will help.
You are saying that you had a bacterial throat infection back in December? Tonsilitis? Did you take antibiotics? White spots on your throat are not indicative of throat cancer. Here's the symptoms of throat cancer and you don't mention any of the symptoms . https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/throat-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20366462 White spots on the throat can be a sign of throat infection like you had previously. https://www.healthgrades.
I've had food allergy problems for years and often have an irritated throat. The past three months have been particularly bad. I've had a dry cough that gets triggered if I'm speaking loudly and sometimes lose my voice while talking. It's been hard to tell how abnormal it is becuase I've had a couple bad colds for the last five weeks. Yesterday I was checking out my tonsils to see if there was still any sign of infection and found these fleshy lumps under my tonsils.
September 2010 I had a very strong infection in my throat together with very high fever and swollen tonsils for about a month. After having taken antibiotics everything was normal again and since then I have been in excellent health. Last week, around wednesday, I started feeling a little bit sick and some tingling in my throat. I had rest for a couple of days and everything was seeming okay until I began feeling pressure in my left ear, but no fever, no swollen tonsils, nothing.
The symptoms of tonsillar cancer involve neck mass,mass on tonsils, sore throat, ear pain, foreign body or mass sensation, and bleeding.
I request you to quit smoking as although you are not having any symptoms now,but chronic smoking can lead to serious health problems later on.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Two days ago I got a scratchy pain in my throat a few times in the day on the right side (usually when my throat was v dry i.e. just waking up on morning). I had a look in my mouth and the back of my throat was a bit red on the right side that was scratchy, not the tonsil but the bit just infront and neither tonsil looked swollen. It doesnt feel like a sore throat usually does, not sure if this is anything to be concerned about?
Your tonsils are there to help your immune system fight off foreign invaders (bacteria/fungus/viruses) in your mouth/throat. HPV is a virus, therefore if it came in contact with your mouth/throat..your tonsils might get swollen because theyre trying to fight off the virus. However, you just having swollen tonsils does not mean you Have HPV. You could very well have a cold/virus other than what they're able to test for.
