Looking For Advice

Hi All -

I am at a point in my health scare issue that I could really use some advice. I am a 27-year old male, who for the most part would consider himself fairly healthy (used to work out 3-4 times a week, ate mostly greens, and would only occassionally drink on weekends), I was a smokeless tobacco user on and off for 7 years, however the last 3 months have been absolute hell and I feel that I am at a breaking point and could really use some advice. 

Around mid-December, I went to see my GP about a slightly nagging left ear ache that was lingering from one of the worst sinus infections I had ever had in my life in the early part of October. At this appointment, the GP gave me a 6-day steroid and sent me on my way. A week's time passes and it is now Friday, December 23rd and I have been studying all day and head over to my girlfriend's house to check on the place as she was out of town. When I go to use the restroom I noticed that my left eyelid is droopy and that the pupil in my left eye is much larger than the pupil in the right eye. At this point I am a bit freaked out, but try not to think too much into it and rationalize that it might be due to studying all day.  I head to my parent's house for the Christmas weekend and once I arrive, I look at myself in the mirror again and also notice that my tongue in the back, on the left side, sits higher in my mouth than my tongue on the right side. Additionally, it seems like my toungue is almost too big for my mouth. So my next instinct is to call my GP and get a reference list of ENTs so that I can go to them and get things squared away. 

I meet with the ENT on January 4th and he performs an oral cavity screening and trans-nasal endoscopy and doesn't see anything in the back of my throat, but sends me to get a CT scan of my sinuses. Everything comes back clear and I try to go back to work and life, after having the slight freak out. However, over the next month my tongue continues to feel like it is increasing in size - it is honestly a weird feeling but I can hardly get food through the oral cavity - and I also notice that my throat is producing a ton of excess saliva. I have what look to be bubbles of spit that form on the pillar and uvula and go down to my tongue. Additionally, the amount of mucus and white foam that coats my tongue at any one time is quite alarming. I have been in client meetings where I have to stop and ask for water because I cannot swallow the foamy mucus or clear my throat.

So I go back to my ENT on the 31st of January to get a second opinion and he now says that the tonsils, on both sides of the base of my tonuge, are swollen and gives me some amoxicillin to clear things up. After my 10-day prescription is over things had not improved, if anything they are getting worse. The ear pain on my left side is quite horrible, the foamy mucus is a constant issue, and my tongue feels like it is still quite fatty/too big for my mouth and throat. The droopy eye and enlarged pupil is still an issue, too. Furthermore, I have become quite distraught over all this and my work life is suffering and I know I am starting a scary downward spiral. I have a follow-up appointment with the ENT on Friday and at this point I am honestly looking for any advice on what questions I should be asking him, what test I should be having ran, etc. to rule out any sort of oral/base of tongue cancer. Does this even sound like throat cancer, as I now think non-stop that I dipped too many years and have caused too much harm to my body. I know it is quite deplorable to come to a cancer site and ask for advice when I haven't even been diagnosed, but I honestly am so broken at this point any source of direction would be greatly appreciated. If you made it to this point, thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
