If you have a sore or ulcer in your mouth that doesn't heal, it could be a sign of oral cancer.

Look for red or white patches on the gums, tongue, tonsils, or lining of the mouth. They should be evaluated by healthcare professionals.

Feel for lumps, or thickening in the mouth, throat, or neck area. These abnormalities may indicate the presence of a tumour.

4. Difficulty in Swallowing

Difficulty in swallowing, persistent sore throat, or the sensation of something stuck in the throat can be symptoms of oral cancer.

Hoarseness, changes in pitch or tone, or difficulty articulating words may be signs of underlying issues that require evaluation.
