Please use the prescribed drugs as advised only . But you don’t need to worry about, using it for few days as advised won’t cause any harmful effect . And all these studies that you have mentioned just said about contribution by multiple factors in causing cancer , not any single factor can cause every time , in everyone.
And using it for a duration like 7 days is only a short period of time and unlikely to cause any malignancy.
Next Steps
Take medication that are not available for over the counter use only after getting advice from a doctor
