10 Throat Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Earache
An earache or ear pain can be one of the early symptoms of mouth or throat cancer. It can also be a symptom of an upper respiratory tract infection, such as acute otitis media.
However, an earache that is persistent and does not resolve with ear drops or antibiotic treatment warrants an appointment with the doctor to rule out malignant causes. Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) may also occur.
