What are the early symptoms of tongue cancer

Tongue cancer is obviously a cancer of the tongue, but many people have never paid attention to it, and the early symptoms of tongue cancer are even more unheard of. In fact, many diseases are uncommon, but if we know their early symptoms, it is safest and most reliable to treat them from the root. So what are the early symptoms of tongue cancer?

1. Tumors mostly occur on the edge of the tongue, followed by the tip, back and belly of the tongue. There may be a history of local leukoplakia or chronic irritation factors, localized lip red accompanied by grayish white keratotic spots.

2. Cancer ulcers may cause bleeding, invade the gums, and even cause the neck and jaw to swell and become hard.

3. Invade the floor of mouth and jawbone, and may penetrate the tongue and cheek.

4. Tongue pain can sometimes be reflected to the temporal area or ear.

5. There may be limited tongue movement, difficulty in eating and swallowing.

6. It is often ulcerative or infiltrative, grows fast, causes obvious pain, and is highly infiltrative.

7. Cervical lymph node metastasis often occurs in the early stage.

Safety Tips:

1. Pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth every morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals.

2. If there are cavities, they should be filled early. The residual crowns and roots that can be repaired should be treated in time to restore the normal anatomical shape of the teeth as soon as possible.

3. Grind the sharp non-functional cusps and marginal ridges to make the cusps and marginal ridges on the occlusal surface of the crown rounded and blunt to prevent damage to the lingual marginal tissue.

4. If benign lesions or precancerous lesions are found, such as papilloma of the tongue or erosive lichen planus, they should be removed and biopsied in time, or actively treated and observed regularly.

5. Quit bad habits such as smoking and drinking, strengthen physical exercise, improve nutrition, eat more fresh fruits rich in vitamins and those that have anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, and eat less irritating food.
