Q: 16 Years Old And Concerned About Cancer...

Hi.. this morning when i woke up, i had what i thought was a sore throat, because it hurt me to swallow. I went on about my day, because i didn't feel sick at all other than my supposed sore throat, but a few hours ago i was lying in bed and felt a bump on the roof of my mouth, near the back on the left hand side. It's a hard bump, and very painful to touch. I looked at it in a mirror, and can't really see it unless I look very hard. I am concerned that this may be a sign of mouth cancer. It feels like I have a painful bb trapped up there... and I'm wondering if this will go away...

I recently got over being on heavy antibiotics due to a sinus and ear infection... maybe its related? I don't know.... a canker sore? But it doesn't look like a canker sore...

I also recently just got vaccinated with the HPV vaccine... gardasil...


I really just wish I knew what was going on with this bump!


Please help me if you have any information regarding this, I'm scared.

If its still there after a few days go and check in with your doctor it is really the only way to know what is going on.
