4. Sore Throat
It is not uncommon for a person to experience a sore throat. In fact, there are many types of bacteria and viruses that can cause a person to have a sore throat. A common cold or the flu can cause a person to develop a sore throat.
However, if you have a chronic sore throat and have the feeling that there is something stuck in the back of your throat, it could be a sign of some type of oral cancer. This includes tongue cancer. Painful swallowing can be indicative of many different things. If you notice that this type of pain is not going away, it is important to seek medical advice. A doctor will be able to determine what is causing your throat to be sore and will order the proper tests to determine whether or not oral or tongue cancer are the possible causes of your pain.
