Throat cancer signs and symptoms
Please help EJ: leave a comment about your throat cancer signs and symptoms to help others going to the doctor in the earliest stage possible of a throat cancer.
EJ asked in Ask your question | Share your throat cancer story, whether:
- a swollen bump on ones neck would itch if it has anything to do with throat cancer ?
Main thing is to go and see your doctor. Commonly bumps or swellings in the neck are enlarged lymph nodes, caused by:
- bacterial infections,
- viral infections,
- cancer
- other rare causes.
Since you are concerned: ask for an X-ray or CT scan asap or in the very near future when the bumps keep itching or present and your doctor has no clue why nor how to solve it.

my aunt was diagnosed w/ throat cancer stage 3, then 4. b/c slow treatment in back home. she had bump behind the ear.
I’ve had pain on right side of throat, ear pain, and when I touch the top of the rightside of head it feels like nails being pushed in. I went to urgent clinic and they said trhey didn’t see anything but prescribed vicaden and some syrup to swish around to take pain from throat this was over two weeks ago and I’m still having the pain its got me scared as I have no insurance and am retired and take care of my total invalid husband, would like another opinion.
