Swollen painful lymph nodes under the chin, accompanied by sore throat and toothache are symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer?

Question
Hello doctor, I am 17 years old this year. 3 days ago, my forbidden tooth was swollen, I went to the dentist, the doctor said I was teething but growing a bit slow. However, 1 day ago, I noticed that there was a lump under my chin (not to my neck) (it was quite painful to the touch), and today I also have a sore throat. So, painful swollen lymph nodes under the chin, accompanied by sore throat and toothache are symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer? Ask your doctor for advice.
