Waiting at least 14 days - 11-10-2004 04:50 PM
I'm 27, I've been a regular smoker for about 6 years. I just came back from a vacation when I
noticed that the underside of my tongue was inflamed and I relized that I had a number of red bumps on it.
My intial reaction was that I had been smoking and drinking too much over the past few days but then I started to consider the posibility of cancer. Most of the information I have read, recommends that you visit your doctor after you have been experiencing symptoms for more than 14 days. Should I wait or go in to see someone right away?
I disposed of my cigarettes today, from now on I'm an ex-smoker.
