Blisters in the throat can result from:

  1. Viral infections: Common causes include herpangina, hand, foot, and mouth disease, or herpes simplex virus.
  2. Bacterial infections: Strep throat may also cause throat blisters.
  3. Thrush: A fungal infection causing white patches and blisters. Acid reflux: GERD can irritate the throat and cause sores.
  4. Throat cancer: persistent sores, ulcers, or lumps in the throat that do not heal and are accompanied by symptoms like difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or hoarseness could be signs of throat cancer.

If symptoms include pain, fever, or difficulty swallowing, see a doctor for diagnosis. They may suggest a throat swab, blood test, or endoscopy. Treatment typically involves antiviral, antifungal, or antibacterial medication, depending on the cause. Lifestyle changes and antacids may help with acid reflux. If symptoms persist, especially with difficulty swallowing or other concerning signs, further evaluation, such as a biopsy, may be needed to rule out cancer.

Please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance.

Hello Mr Vijay,

Thank you for your question. It's important to consult with a specialist, such as an oncologist or ENT doctor, for mouth cancer screening or diagnosis. They will conduct a thorough examination and may recommend tests like a biopsy, CT scan, or MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

If you notice symptoms like persistent mouth sores, difficulty swallowing, or lumps, it’s important to get checked as soon as possible. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

You can use the HexaHealth app to book a consultation with a cancer specialist or find the nearest hospital for screening.

Hello Mr Digamber,

Experiencing pain in the throat when swallowing food could be caused by various factors, including infections, inflammation, or, in some cases, it could be a symptom of a more serious condition like throat cancer. While it's essential not to jump to conclusions, it's crucial to have your symptoms evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly.

If the pain is recurrent and is there even while swallowing liquids, it is associated with hoarseness of voice, persistent cough or unexplained weight loss. In that case, these signs may indicate immediate attention and treatment. Early detection is key for successful treatment. Treatment options for throat cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these approaches. The specific treatment plan would depend on factors such as the type and stage of cancer, as well as your overall health and preferences.

HexaHealth offers personalised care and support from initial consultation to postoperative recovery. Our experienced medical team assesses symptoms, provides treatment guidance, and connects you with specialists. We provide resources for recovery, including exercises and dietary advice tailored to your needs. Additionally, we assist with financial matters, helping you navigate insurance coverage and access financial aid. With HexaHealth, you have a trusted partner dedicated to your well-being at every step.

The treatment options for cancer depend on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and their preferences. • Common treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. • Targeted therapies focus on specific cancer-related molecules. • Immunotherapy enhances the immune system's ability to fight cancer. • Hormone therapy is for hormone-sensitive cancers like breast and prostate cancer. • Stem cell transplantation is used for blood cancers. • Precision medicine tailors treatments to a person's genetic profile. • Palliative care improves the quality of life for advanced cancer patients. Individualized treatment plans combine these options based on cancer specifics. Discussion with healthcare professionals is vital for informed decisions.

We are sorry to hear that you're experiencing discomfort from a tongue ulcer. Tongue ulcers can be quite bothersome. It's important to take care of your oral health. If you haven't already, consider trying home remedies like rinsing with warm salt water or using over-the-counter oral gels to help alleviate the pain and promote healing. If the ulcer persists, worsens, or does not heal within 2-3 weeks, please consult a Head and Neck Oncologist or Oral Surgeon for a proper evaluation and guidance. They can provide you with the best advice and treatment options. In the meantime, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcer. Please feel free to contact us at +91 8860688606 for more information. We're here to support you through this!
