4. Sore Throat
A sore throat or a feeling that something is caught in the throat when swallowing can be a sign of jaw cancer and, at first, is usually indistinguishable from the sore throat that comes with a cold. This symptom usually lasts much longer than a cold, and the pain and discomfort can be much more severe.
Throat pain can be caused by a tumor putting pressure on the esophagus or an open lesion that has formed in the throat cavity.2‘Oral Cancer.’ National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, July 2018, www.nidcr.nih.gov/health-info/oral-cancer/more-info.
