Throat and jaw cancer
Common Questions and Answers about Throat and jaw cancer
throat
So I have a lump or inflammation of what I presume is a gland between my large neck muscle and under the back of my jaw line. Last week I was ok but developed a sore throat and headaches late last week and by the weekend I had a sore throat, vomited once and developed a sore neck and this lump all in the space of a day. I dunno what it is but if I turn my neck now it's not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch.
Lump in throat feeling, a lump on my gum, fever and itchy burning throat, my throat gets scratchy to where my voice changes.. My jaw pops and clicks when I open my mouth my face and jaw was hurting so bad I could barley open my mouth I had night and day sweats and a couple of days where I'm not hungry and headaches.. Does anyone have any advice could this really be oral cancer?
she just said everything looked normal in my mouth and there where no swollen lymph nodes anywhere and she looked in my nose and ears and said everything looked normal there too, but my jaw still hurts and so does my tongue im so worried this coukd be cancer i feel crazy and everyone thinks im being irrational but idk what else this all is. could anyone tell me if i could get head/ neck cancer at this age even though i dont use tobacco, or what these symptoms could be.
In the last 3 months been having sore throat on and off on regular basis and lately and now some upper jaw pain and ear pain on and off and been having some lips feel like burning a bit may be from looking so much in my mouth for something been strecting them so much.got so worried of oral hpv went to two different ent and dentist and my general doctor told me could not find any thing one the ent with a scope visual said lpr acid reflux.
A couple of years ago, my dentist informed me that my wisdom teeth needed to be removed as soon as possible. I have still not had them removed and the far/upper region of my lower right jaw (near/below and the area around my wisdom tooth) is where I occassionally experience pain and swelling.
Could my sore throat have anything to do with the wisdom tooth on the lower portion of the right side of my jaw? Or are the two wholly unrelated?
I have severe throat pain on left side mainly underneath jaw and at bottom of throat. Seems to be set off by acidic foods, or swallowing bulky rough items. I have never had a sore throat like this before -- I have no other symptoms no cold, no runny nose, no cough etc. It has not gotten any better after a kind of 2 day onset 6 days ago. Yawning really hurts severely.
Pain below ear/in jaw began about 6 months ago. Tongue pain is recent, ear pain and sinus pain/congestion have increased from allergies but were present prior to allergen exposure. Lymph nodes in neck are perpetually swollen but worse in the last couple months (again, possibly allergies?).
Other relevant/potentially relevant info: have reflux for which I am on Prilosec.
About 6 months ago, I got 2 black spots in my mouth, both no more than 1mm and perfectly formed,and accompanied by a feeling of a lump in my throat. They disappeared within 24 hours. 2 days ago the same thing happened, only it was 1 small black spot this time. The black spot was gone in 24 hours and the lump in my throat is feeling better. From what I can make out from various forums etc, it doesn't sound like cancer but its not an almalgam tattoo judging by the other pictures.
Now I have 6 swollen lymph nodes in my neck below my jaw. There are two larger ones bigger than 1.5 CM and two smaller ones near each large one confirmed by CT scan. They are hard and moveable, but my ENT said they are difficult to move. They have been there for about three months. I have been very tired, losing hair at the hairline, short of breath, mild sore throat constantly, cough, but I haven’t had any night sweats or weight loss.
For the last several months I have been experiencing neck pain, some swelling, sore raspy throat feeling, pain in the ears, jaw and just about every possible symptom of hypo and hyperthyroid. The only lab work done is as follows:
TSH. 0.771
Normal range based on Labcorp 0.450 - 4.500
Triiodothyronine, free, serum. 2.9
Normal range 2.0 - 4.4
T4, free, direct. 1.34
Normal range 0.82 - 1.
I just started having a similar problem, only on the right side. It's mildly painful, feels like it's swollen but doesn't appear to be swollen, is affecting my jaw/face and causing a slight headache. I think it's also making the muscles in my neck even more tense and knotted up from worrying about it. I was just at the doctor's like a week before this started happening so I hate to go back for something else.
along with this, i got two swollen lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. one right behind my left jaw and one just in front of that one and under my jaw. i can feel it inside my ear when touching the swollen node behind my jaw.

i have had what i assumed were kidney stones about once per year for the past two or three years.
I have been experiencing a variety of symptoms increasingly over the past two months including pronounced fatigue, constipation, cough and intermittent sore throat along with ear and jaw pain, swelling around my eyes each morning, a 10-pound weight gain in 30 days, charlie horses, and a marked mental fog and forgetfulness. Several days ago I began feeling a lump in my throat when I swallow that feels as if food gets caught on it.
Had abscessed tooth on top under gold crown. At the same time bottom gums swelled and I was told that one of my back molars needed extracted. Had 3 teeth pulled. My gums are still swollen on bottom which all doctors say they look pink and healthy. I feel pressure in my jaw. I feel like I'm being strangled in my throat. Now I feel like I'm in a tunnel when I speak. All these symptoms came one after the other and I don't know what to do.
Started having major stuffiness in my left ear and pain behind and in front of my ear and when i would open my mouth my jaw made cracking noises. Some mornings when i would wake up my jaw on the left side would be locked. Dr recommended seeing ENT about my ears and throat and the fact that while all this was going on i was constantly having allergy problems. The ENT did scope down throat said everything looked inflamed and diagnosed LPR and allergies.
other symptoms are intermittent ear pain that comes and goes, along with jaw pain that comes and goes, dry mouth, chills, night sweats, joint pain (hips, knees, sometimes elbows and fingers), urination urgency, clearing of throat, occasional shortness of breath, cough. I also have acid reflux. A few days ago, I went to the doc for my annual check-up.
I was concerned with cancer but she told me she saw and felt nothing cancerous in my tonsil and throat. My ear is functioning properly but has pressure. My throat feels sore at the back right side, just a pain that is uncomfortable when swallowing as if I cut it eating or something, and it radiates upwards. Tonsils aren't noticeably swollen or anything, docs all said I look ok.
I think it has something to do with the jaw, the muscles in the throat and the nerves in the throat which are being vibrated by the vocal chords.
I saw an ENT last fall. He said my vocal chords were just fine. He saw something else a little red but could not see any reason why I couldn't talk. I was a little hoarse at that time but had a lot of pain in my throat.
I would like to be able to sing as I go through school (getting my Masters in Music Education).
I found a dime size painless lump under my jaw line on the right side. I have allergies to air irritants but I am not currently suffering from the symptoms and I don't have a cold. The left side has no lumps. Please help. (although no blood relation i just had a family member diagnosed with cancer in the same area) So I am very worried. Please Help.
I have suffered with anxiety also over the fear of death, and today this chest pressure and tight feeling in my throat and shoulders could come from anxiety, but it truly feels like I will stop breathing at any minute and this is awful. I chew lots of gum due to my breath sometimes being bad and am worried this has spread infection through my whole body.
m in constant battle with my throat and voice. I have persistent mucus in my throat which causes continual throat clearing and/or coughing. While a lot of people say it is the worst at night I usually have no symptoms at night nor in the morning. Sometime around 11am or 12pm it will begin, usually after eating. When I wake up my voice is hoarse/raspy sometimes. The problem usually is at it's worst after eating a big meal like dinner.
I have always been an anxiety ridden person,but here recently I have been clenching my teeth a lot more and I think it is causing the back of my tounge and the front parts of my throat to be sore but not like a sick sore really like a muscle strain sore. I carry a lot of anxiety in my neck and shoulders and I do find myself clenching my jaw quite a bit anymore,but I am now thinking that my tounge and throat muscles are now tensing up.
