Hello and thanks for your post

I'm sorry you have a health worry. Only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to go back and see your doctor if your symptoms are not improving.

Most of the time there are a variety of reasons for tonsil / throat symptoms and for most the cause will have a straightforward medical explanation such as infection and won’t be anything as serious as cancer. But it’s best to get checked just to be on the safe side if your symptoms persist.

Hopefully people will come along and share their experiences with you, as support like this can be invaluable. But it’s important to bear in mind that even if there are other people who have experienced similar things to you, I’m not sure that their experience will shed much light about what is going on with you. 

I hope everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
