Hello

Thanks for choosing H.C.M. for query.

After reading your query I came to know that you are having some short of oropharyngeal infection but you are worried for cancer.

As you have practiced for oral sex therefore oral infections are likely to be there, but your symptoms are not indicating towards cancer. For the diagnosis and treatment point of view you should do these investigations-

1- Culture and sensitivity of throat swab.

2- VDRL.

3- Scrape cytology from throat mucosa to rule out malignancy.

4- FNAC from neck glands.

By the inferences of these investigations one may rule out oral cancer and at the same time correct diagnosis may be established that may be accordingly plan for treatment.

Regards.
