What Causes Ulcer Like Growth On The Throat Leading To Pain In Jaw And Ears?

I've had this pain in my ear/jaw for years, since childhood. Every time I go to the doctor, I'm prescribed antibiotics for a ear infection after they look in my ear, but I seen this red and white ulcer like thing in the back of my mouth, that sinks in in the center, and I pushed on it and felt the pain it in my neck/jaw/ear relieve some. Should I be worried? If it was cancer, wouldn't I have died as a child?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain red and white ulcer like growth in the back of mouth that is present in the centre can be an ulcer secondary to infection or can also be due to some allergic reaction while it can also be a swollen taste bud if it is over the back of tongue..
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and as you have not clearly explained the location I can not give you the exact cause..
Therefore you need a thorough clinical evaluation done for confirmation of the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You need not to worry as there is not always necessary that it can be a cancer..
As of now you can apply a numbing gel over it and do warm saline gargles..
If there is pain you can also take Ibuprofen..
Take a multivitamin tablet daily..
You can also gargle with antimicrobial mouthwash..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
