What Could Be The Symptoms Of Mouth Cancer?

I have a question about mouth cancer.
I have dipped for about a month. Realized I need to quit so I am now trying to. The sides of my tongue are pretty soar. My throat is also soar. I have some little bumps in my lip but they don't hurt or irritate me. Could these symptoms be cancer related? Can dipping for only 30 days cause mouth cancer?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
No need to worry much as you are having side effects of dipping. But you should definitely quit this habit otherwise you land up in oral cancer.
Only 30 days dipping habit can not cause cancer. So quit this as soon as possible.
Start multivitamin containing zinc, folic acid and niacin. It will help in healing of your tongue. Avoid hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids.
So you are not having cancer, so relax and start multivitamin tablets.
The common symptoms of oral cancer are
1. Non healing ulcer
2. Poor oral opening
3. Enlarged lymphnodes in neck
