What Do Hard Pear-sized Lumps In Mouth Indicate?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though it needs a thorough physical examination of your oral cavity and neck on the way to have a clinical diagnosis of these lumps, I would advise you to go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of these lumps after getting it clinically assessed by a general surgeon/ENT surgeon/maxillo-fascial surgeon. I would also advise you not to delay on this to get best possible outcome from the treatment.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
