Around here we have a saying... If a sore in your mouth does not resolve itself within 2-3 weeks then its time to seek out a professional. By a professional, I mean an ENT who specializes in treating oral cancer patients. Im not saying this because of reading something of concern in your post, so please dont jump to conclusions and worry even more. Your sore should heel within that time. Without a biopsy, its just an educated guess what it could be. The biopsy will determine what the sore is and then you can take it from there on what options you have.
I hope this turns out to be nothing serious. Best wishes!
