What are these white spots in my mouth!
Thanks so much for reading this and trying to help.
The last 2 weeks, I have had a litany of things happen in and around my mouth. I will make this as quick as possible for ya!
...2 weeks ago,
1. I had the left corner of my mouth, by my lip crease crack. There may have been a very slight raise in the skin. I couldn't open my mouth the whole way though without a good bit of pain in the crease of my lip area.
That lasted a week to ten days.
2. Directly at the end of that time frame, I began to get a cold sore, i think, on my bottom right lip. It barely made a head but i could feel its pressure underneath the skin. It didn't grow, and in less than a week it healed and has gone completely. It felt as if i smacked my lip on something there. It has healed and gone though.
3. Now 3 days ago, back by my molar on my bottom right side, i got a canker sore? it was small, white and painful. It lasted almost 24 hours and healed and went away. During this time, I developed a soar throat, my tonsils were red, i saw drainage in the back of my throat. I also feel like i'm losing my voice. I felt like I also ran a low fever.
4. Yesterday, I noticed a bumpy rough patch on the left side of my cheek by running my tongue over it. I looked today and there were two small white bumps. They looked like the canker sore, but are painless.
....Sooo thats all.
I will say this, I'm a tennis coach, and I know last week, I screamed and yelled more than I ever have. So that could explain the Losing my voice part.
I also know that before i got the painful canker sore, I ate a bag of Doritos, a big bag. I have gotten canker soars before in the past when i've cut my gums. I'm not sure if i did, but i could have with the Doritos.
I know that my wisdom teeth are very impacted. They have been for many months. They also cause me some jaw pain from time to time.
Here's the bad one that's freaking me out. I chewed tobacco for 2 years. I quit on January 5th and haven't touched it since.
What is going on in my mouth!
I do have a dentist appointment on the 19th of Feb to get checked out. In the mean time i'm pretty worried with the question of having cancer looming over my head.
Is there one thing in particular that could cause all these mouth symptoms?

I also had a swollen gland on right side, under my jaw for a couple of days. It too healed and went away after 24-48 hours.
