Hello, i will tell you all my story. I was scheduled for a major operation on May 22,2013. I woke up that morning with a small scratch in my throat, but didnt think anything of it. thought it was from maybe not sleepin well. Well i get to the hospital and im getting ready to go in and they take my temperature and i have a 100.8 fever(Still have a 99.7 fever and its now saturday night). They refuse to do the operation so i went home and went back to sleep. woke up about 6 hours later with a terrible sore throat, not that it hurt all the time, but just terribly when i would swallow. along with that, my gum that covers my bottom left wisdom tooth has been ripped somehow, and there is a hole in the gum and i can see part of my wisdom tooth. as the week went on i started to notice i now have what feels like a canker on the back left of my tounge(right next to that split, and white bump toward the front of my left cheek, and i had another group of white bumps in the back next to the hole, but they are going away. anyways, between these sores and my throat(feels like there is something sharp stuck in it and i cant get it out),i can barely eat. i take a few bites of food and its so painful to eat i lose my appetite very quickly. i think its weird that all this happened at the same time, and they are ALL symptoms of mouth cancer. so my question is...can these symptoms just develop like this over a few days, and to such a bad degree. i just figured i was sick but after 4 days and the pain is getting worse im getting pretty worried. im going to go to a walk in clinic tomorrow and see what they say. I would love any feedback. thanks
