If the red bumps are there for 2 weeks or longer without going away then its time to get checked out by a professional. I suggest finding an ENT who specializes in treating oral cancer. There are ENTs who primarily put tubes in kids ears so they would not be as familiar with oral cancer.
It could be any number of things going on besides oral cancer. For example, it could be acid reflux or even post nasal drip. The only way to tell is to get thoroughly examined by a qualified ENT.
This is what my doc explained to me when I had my children vaccinated with the
HPV series of shots. The first shot will protect the patient by something like 25%, the second one will further reduce the chances of
HPV+ illnesses by an additional 50% and the last one will full protect the patient. Of course there are always exceptions. Now if you look at the big picture.... the odds of someone contracting
HPV+ oral cancer actually are relatively small. But it is becoming more and more common. Many people walk around with the
HPV virus without it ever going on to create any serious health conditions. Its a small percentage of those
HPV+ people who will have the
HPV virus not clear their system and it will cause them health issues like oral cancer, anal cancer genital warts, cervical cancer, penile cancer. From what my doc explained to me I would say you are 75% protected from contracting
HPV so you have a far less of a chance of the
HPV virus ever continuing on to become anything serious. Sorry if I was rambling, it gets a bit confusing.
When you go see the ENT, let them know you had 2 out of the 3
HPV shots.
Hope its nothing serious.
