Hello.Welcome to HCM.
A simple swelling of the frenal attachment cannot be diagnosed as oral cancer.
Your doctor must be suspecting a infection as he prescribed you antibiotics.
I suggest you to be stress free,and maintain a good oral hygiene.
There is nothing you have to worry about.
If it does not subside after a week or you watch it enlarging, you can go for a biopsy.
Congratulations on your decision to QUIT smoking.
Regards.
