What to do if you have a headache in the early stages of laryngeal cancer

What should I do if I have a headache in the early stage of laryngeal cancer? Logically, headache is not a symptom of laryngeal cancer. Typical symptoms of laryngeal cancer include hoarseness, dyspnea, cough, and dysphagia. Headache may be caused by lack of rest, staying up late, mental stress, etc. Patients should be more positive and optimistic. The cure rate of early laryngeal cancer is relatively high.

Early treatment of laryngeal cancer has a higher cure rate, so the early stage is the best time to treat laryngeal cancer. However, many patients often ignore the symptoms and manifestations of early laryngeal cancer, missing the best time for treatment, not only suffering a lot of pain, but also increasing the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, do not ignore the symptoms and manifestations of early laryngeal cancer. Let us learn about the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer.

1. Foreign body sensation and pain in the throat: This is often an early symptom of supraglottic cancer. After the cancer ruptures, throat pain may occur, sometimes radiating to the ear on the same side. This is a symptom that occurs in the later stages of laryngeal cancer.

2. Hoarseness: It is the earliest symptom of vocal cord cancer, which is usually persistent and gradually worsens. The early symptoms of subglottic cancer are not obvious, while hoarseness is a symptom of the later stage.

3. Blood in sputum and breathing difficulties: Since the tumor carries a large number of abnormal new blood vessels, patients often find blood in mucus or sputum after coughing. When the tumor deteriorates seriously and increases in size at the primary site, it will directly block the trachea, thereby affecting breathing or making it difficult for tracheal secretions to be discharged, resulting in breathing difficulties.
