Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No oral medicines are available to control HPV infection. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Imiquimod can chemically destroy the virus at the site of application. If the margins are free of tumor after excision you don’t need to worry much and only frequent follow up is required. No drugs needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
