My cat's mouth improved on antibiotics. Is it infection or cancer?

Question

If antibiotics is already curing my cat just after two days, (as the infection is inside his mouth) - Is it just an infection being cured or cancer??

I think this question may be a repetition of the previous one with the link to the picture. .....The antibiotic probably cleared the mouth up from excess of bacteria and secondary infection, but that lesion may represent a cancer. A biopsy or fine needle aspiration of the lesion must be obtained to confirm or rule out this strong clinical suspicion and eventually define its malignancy. Another check up is needed.
