Will oral gonorrhoea go away on its own?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: This can be a serious infection which can break though the barriers of the mouth lining and cause serious damage in the rest of the body. Do not rely on spontaneous healing; the risk is too high. I am guessing that you don't want the embarasment of discussing this with anyone but in this case a little embarrasment is worth the treatment.
