I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing some pain between my left ear and lower jaw, and sometimes it seems to travel up to my brain. Just today, I noticed a small lump at the back of my throat. Could this be oral cancer? I've been using cool lip tobacco for about 3.5 years now. Would really appreciate your thoughts.

I've noticed this lump on the left side of my tongue, more on the ventral surface. It's not painful and you can't see it from the outside, but I can feel it when I squeeze my tongue with my teeth. I recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something serious? It's really uncomfortable, even though there's no pain. Should I be concerned about this?

Question

Can smoking cigarettes lead to swollen lymph nodes in my neck or behind my ear? I've noticed some swelling and I'm getting a bit concerned it might be linked to my smoking habit.
