Hi,

Are there other symptoms present? The common symptoms of an oral cancer include a sore or blister in the mouth or lip that wont heal , white and red patches in the mouth or lips, difficulty swallowing, earaches, change in the way teeth fit together or bleeding from the mouth.  If your symptoms persists, have this evaluated further for proper management. A referral to a specialist or oral surgeon may also help.

Take care and keep us posted.
