Question 3

I'm dealing with a recurring ulcer that always seems to pop up in the same spot, and it's getting pretty big. At the same time, the lymph node on that side swells up too, and this has happened more than a couple of times over the past six months. I'm really worried it might be mouth cancer. How can I find out what's going on? What do you think?

I've got this weird thing where the skin is kind of hanging from the tip of my uvula, and it's touching my tongue. It's giving me this constant tickling sensation. There's no swelling or anything, but it's pretty annoying. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

that could be pharungitis,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
