Needs evaluation.: Your symptoms could represent infection, allergic reaction or, least likely, cancer. To determine the diagnosis, perhaps the most appropriate expert to see would be an otolaryngologist (ent...Ear, nose and throat specialist).

You are at high risk: The combination of smoking and alcohol use over time put you at risk for developing oral cancer ( not to mention many other health problems). See your dentist as soon as possible.
