What are the early symptoms of tonsil cancer?

The early symptoms of tonsil cancer include a foreign body sensation in the throat, sore throat, irritating cough, neck lump, dysphagia, etc., requiring timely examination and diagnosis in the hospital.

1. Foreign Body Sensation in the Throat: Tonsil cancer is a serious disease, which may be caused by poor eating habits, infection, and other reasons. Tumors may grow in the tonsil area, leading to a foreign body sensation in the early stage of the disease.

2. Sore Throat: During the growth of tumors in the tonsil area, they may irritate the surrounding mucosa, resulting in irregular pain symptoms.

3. Irritating Cough: When the tumor stimulates the surrounding nervous system and blood vessels, it may cause intermittent cough symptoms.

4. Neck Lump: Cancer cells may affect the lymphatic tissue in the neck, leading to lymphadenopathy and prominent lumps.

5. Dysphagia: When the tumor grows rapidly, it may affect normal swallowing function, resulting in difficulty in swallowing.

Surgical resection of the lesion is required for treatment, along with chemotherapy. Patients should seek early detection and treatment to reduce the stimulation to the body.
