Dryness In The Mouth, Hard Bumps, Red Spots In The Mouth. Could It Be Oral Cancer?
Hi, yesterday I noticed that they left side of my mouth became really dry after eating lunch. I then noticed that on the floor of my mouth there is a a couple of hard bumps from the bottom of my tongue to the back under my teeth. Then today I noticed a flat red spot on the roof of my mouth, however I also have a hole in a tooth right next to that. I'm really worried about oral cancer.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
You should consult ENT specialist.
FNAC/Biopsy is needed to confirm the lesions.
CT Scan of face may be done for proper assessment.
Treatment can be done after proper clinical examination and investigations reports.
Get well soon.
Take Care
