1. A sore or irritation in the mouth that doesn't go away: This is usually the first sign of mouth cancer and can manifest as a sore, lump, or ulcer in the mouth. It is important to note that this sore may not be painful and may not cause any discomfort.

2. Pain in the mouth: If the sore or irritation does not go away, it can cause pain in the mouth, which can be mild or severe and may become worse over time.

3. Bleeding in the mouth: This can be due to a sore or ulcer that is not healing properly or is not healing at all.

4. Swelling in the mouth: Swelling in the mouth is a common symptom of mouth cancer, which can cause a lump to appear in the mouth or throat.

5. Difficulty swallowing or chewing: If the cancer is located in the throat, it can interfere with swallowing or chewing.

6. Voice changes: As the cancer grows, it can cause changes in the voice, such as hoarseness or loss of volume.

7. Weight loss: Unintentional weight loss can be a sign of cancer, as the body is not able to process nutrients properly.

8. Bad breath: If the cancer has spread to the lungs, it can cause bad breath due to the increased amount of bacteria in the mouth.

9. White or red patches in the mouth: These patches are known as leukoplakia and can be a sign of cancer or pre-cancerous cells in the mouth.

10. Earaches or jaw pain: As the cancer spreads, it can cause pain in the ears or jaw, which can be a sign of advanced mouth cancer.

Mouth cancer, also known as oral cancer, is a type of cancer that affects any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, and cheeks. Common symptoms of mouth cancer include a lump or sore in the mouth that doesn’t go away, a white or red patch inside the mouth, a sore throat or hoarseness that lasts more than 2 weeks, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and numbness of the tongue or other area of the mouth. Other symptoms can include a persistent earache, unexplained weight loss, and pain in the jaw or neck. Additionally, a person may also experience changes in their voice, such as a deepening or hoarseness, and an unexplained bad breath or bad taste in the mouth. It is important to note that the presence of any of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has mouth cancer, but it is still important to see a doctor if any of these symptoms persist.
