Question 1

what is the best medicine for pain of cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Seek help from oncol: Your oncologist can find out the cause of the pain and treat you with pain medication. A pain specialist may be even more helpful in case your oncologist is not able to control your pain well.

Question 2

is it likely that hpv16 infection progresses to cervical cancer in 1 yr. if she takes immune-suppressing-allergy medicine for just a month?

Very unlikely: Such rapid progression might occur, but is extremely rare. Being on allergy medication is not likely to change this. Even potent immunosuppression usually doesn't have this effect.
