I understand your concern about the sore in your mouth. Calm down and relax. A sore that has been in your mouth for 2 or more weeks needs to be checked by a specialist. I would suggest you wait at least another week to give it time to heal. If its still there then find an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) who specializes in oral cancer. A biopsy will determine what you have going on.
Hope its nothing serious, good luck!
