Question

What are the early symptoms of oral cancer?

Answer

The early symptoms of oral cancer typically include the following points:

  1. The appearance of an unexplained lump in the mouth or neck (without pain upon touching).
  2. Limited tongue movement, leading to difficulties in chewing, swallowing, or speaking, or a partial loss of sensation and numbness in the tongue.
  3. Local swelling of the jawbone, causing facial asymmetry, and sometimes accompanied by dental issues such as teeth recession.
