Im sorry you are feeling so scared. It could be any number of things. If you still arent better, go back to the doctor. I suggest seeing an ENT. Find one that specializes in oral cancer. They are the most qualified to visually identify whats going on.

Stress can play a part in why you havent healed yet. Try your best to keep your mind off worrying. Constantly focusing on "what if" is not helpful at all. Do yourself a favor and stop googling symptoms. If you put in the right things even a 90 year old man can be diagnosed as being pregnant.

Good luck.
What is a ENT exactly
Can a dentist spot oral cancer
Not all dentists have even ever seen an oral cancer lesion. An ENT is a doctor who treats Ear, Nose and Throat patients.
Oooh okay so a normal doctor is not a good doctor
Good choice I mean sorry my phone sometimes changes my words

You are still asking so many questions that need to be answered by a doctor and it seems you want to challenge what they are saying after you get the information from the doctor.

I've asked this and you didn't answer but I really think you should be addressing the anxiety more than the sore throat and bumps. There are at least a million possibilities of what can go wrong with the body and even the stress of knowing can be extremely difficult to deal with. By constantly fearing what might be wrong, you aren't helping things. I don't know if this makes sense to you but freaking out and getting progressively more anxious about it is a sign you could use some help processing your fears.

In regards to throat infection, not treating an infection can be fatal. Even something that seems as simple as strep throat, when left untreated, can cause a lifetime of health problems that have no cure.
Sorry I know I get annoying with my questions my fear is not dying exactly its not seeing my family no more not being to hangout with my friends and talk like normal not being able to talk to the girl I like knowing that out all the people who get this its nice people I've seen vedios and pictures of surgeries and I feel really bad for them the pain and fear they have I get scared of going through that and not living life like a teen not being able to get married or have kids im pretty sure no girl will want me if im disfigured I just want to live my life normally I don't want to drink , smoke or do anything bad to anyone I just want a family a wife some kids I love children and my passion witch is boxing hone that's what scares me
Sorry for the bad spelling i type on my phone so I make mistakes and don't notice

It's not annoying at all. I am just concerned that you are so young and want to live your age yet your mind is constantly worrying. Many people live with the things you mention but most people want to know what they are dealing with instead of taking it beyond what you know.

Instead of hanging out here and seeing how bad it is, get out and be a 16 year old. Do all those things you say you want to. If things progress, keep seeing medical professionals. If it turns out bad, they will let you know.
Yea u right I was good when my doctor said it was just a infection Intel I read that throat infection just last 7-10 days and I had mine for a month now I haven't taken any medicine but a month seems like to much I would think after a month it leaves on its own I don't feel pain either so that aslo doesn't help my fear hopefully its nothing but man what u guys go through is hard u guys are the strongest people I've seen pictures of the surgeries or read about thr pain u guys are tough to endure this man I pray for every one going through this horrible disease

It can be any number of things, sometimes doctors need to give symptoms time to develop to assist with the diagnosis. A virus at 5 days might look the same as a fungus at 5 days. After 30 days the symptoms of the two conditions might be different, giving a clearer idea what it is and pointing the doctor to a new line of investigation or treatment. Again its only able to be diagnosed by a doctor, and none of us here are doctors. There is nothing to be gained by Googling symptoms, leave it to the doctors.
No she said she was going to give me medicine but I guess her assistant forgot well thank you for trying to make me feel better i really appreciated and it really helps thank you guys

Get your antibiotics and see if that kills the problem. We're in your corner, young man, hoping it resolves with one round of medicine.
Thank you sir I feel really good talking to u guys even if I don't have cancer I still want to hang out here u guys are really nice and cool people
