While you may have some symptoms of oral cancer, chances are slim that it is. You are relatively young and stress and other things can cause the symptoms you are experiencing. We do advice to have any non-healing sore in your mouth to be checked out by a medical professional, so making an appointment with an experienced ENT is the first step.

Good luck and try to stay calm!
