Hello!
In the early stages of nasopharyngeal cancer, symptoms often include: sore throat, hoarseness, stuffy nose, cough with phlegm, headache, tinnitus, swollen lymph nodes... In general, these symptoms are similar to common respiratory diseases. However, if you pay close attention, you will find out that in nasopharyngeal cancer, the runny nose or sore throat is usually concentrated on one side of the throat, with long-term symptoms, so taking drugs often has no effect.
Therefore, when the body shows abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital to be tested, conduct an examination and have the earliest treatment direction. You can go to one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide.
Thank you for sending your trust and questions to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
