You probably have an inflamed throat related to the infection.

I was diagnosed with throat cancer on 8/14 and relate to the feelings you are having right now. However, I suggest you try to calm yourself down and not get too stressed out until you know for sure one way or the other. Mine came on very quick. I had a growth on my tonsils that was impacting swallowing. The ENT I went to said it appeared benign, but two days after they removed it, I got the call. I have been on a whirlwind tour of Dr.'s since. The first oncologist surgeon I went to wanted to do more surgery the same week. I wasn't comfortable with that and went for a second opinion. He said no surgery but I would need radiation and chemo and then we would decide on surgery. It has been a month now and I have seen so many Dr.'s, had scans and the radiation will most likely start next Monday. I'm stressed and nervous but have been told that my type of cancer has a high rate of success. Don't know what type of Dr. you are seeing on Wed. but I'm guessing it is an ENT and I would insist on a biopsy and a PET CT on the front-end to determine what is going on. If it does happen to be cancer, you need to find a good Oncologist. Not going to lie to you; if you happen to have cancer, it will be a roller coaster and I haven't even started the REAL treatment. However, I am determined to get this stuff out of my system and willing to do whatever has to be done to make it so. Happy to answer any questions I can and you are welcome to contact me via my direct email.

Please do not post photos. We are not physicians and not qualified to advise. Not even doctors can tell by a photo.

Best advice is to have your parents arrange to be seen by an ENT who specializes in oral cancer. If you have already done that and are not satisfied try another one.
