Does Sore Throat And Swollen Tonsils Indicate Cancer?

Ive had hpv for over a year now, been told i had two types. One type has been cleared due to a normal pap, but the other that causes warts is still prevalent. I believe i have it orally as well, as i will get a hard white bump that comes and goes. Ive had a sore throat for the past two weeks and now my tonsil is swollen. I smoke too, do you think i could have cancer?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have HPV virus infection. It can cause wart. But sore throat and enlarged tonsil is not indicate cancer. You may have tonsillitis or other upper respiratory tract infection. You should take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxiclav. For symptoms you can take antihistaminic drugs like chlorpheneremine malate or levocetrizine. Warm saline water gargles are also useful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
