Really scared oral cancer?

Hello. I'm starting to get scared and could do with some advise please. I'm 38. I've never drank or smoked. Around 4 weeks ago I got a severe sore throat abroad and they gave me a 3 day anti biotic course. I noticed once or twice I had pain in my tongue. Sore throat went away but I started coughing and I dunno why but I checked my mouth in mirror and noticed on the left side on my tongue a round white circle kinda. And I noticed on the right side of tongue the same thing but the white spot is slightly smaller. Which is strange as it would make it semetric. On the left side I closed my mouth one time and it seemed to have grabbed the white spot on left of tongue and ripped half of it off my tongue. So you have the outter circle left. But on right side there seems to be a little hole that's formed in the middle of the circle. I'm not sure if is going away or what but I'm scared. I can't tell.  

 

I thought maybe it would go away on it's own but it's been pretty much 4 weeks now. I'm still getting pain in my tongue especially if I lay down. If I touch the the white areas on either side it hurts. My cough is on and off. Sore throat is mostly gone but came back for a week or so. I have flem feeling in my throat and runny rose. I have 2 broken teeth on right side of mouth which happened during lockdown and I just haven't gone dentist to get it sorted..

 

I really don't know what to do. I'm literally scared to even move or go to my GP. Like I know uclers cankers etc are extremely common while mouth cancer is extremely uncommon but I think I've scared myself from looking online to much and every picture of mouth cancer ulcers cankers all look the same. 

 

What do I do :(
