Question: I quit Dip or snuff tobacco two months ago, I get a sore every once and a while but goes away quickly and I have an off and on tickle in my throat just kind of an irritation, has been get getting better but kind of lingering. also had appendix surgery which made throat hurt
Brief Answer:
several possibilities
Detailed Answer:
I am assuming you want some possibilities for a sore and inflammation in the mouth and throat.
First, I cannot diagnose, advise or treat without directly observing, but some general information. Snuff does increase the risk of oral cancer. Sores would be the most common first sign. Also discolored patches. These are not very specific for cancer. Irritation, pre-cancerous growths, apthous ulcers, bad teeth or dentures are some of the many other possibilities. All of them, including cancer are VERY treatable and this is a good indication to get an exam.
