What Causes Pain In My Under Jaw And Sore Throat?
Hello Doctor
Since the past 2 weeks I've been freaking out a lot, Ive had and on and off sore throat and pain in my underjaw, lightheadedness, pain behind the right eye socket and frontal/sinus headaches which went down now. Now yesterday my tongue was very swollen and hurt on the right side when I dont remember accidentally biting it but I didnt check it out. I just went and checked it in the mirror and the skin at the part that was swollen and hurting is gone (the skin that covers your tongue if that makes sense). I started looking up cancer symptoms and now I'm freaking out even more. I'm only 21 and have always been healthy as could be, Ill go to the medical office first thing tomorrow but Im frightened out of my mind right now.
