Hi, 3 weeks ago I had a sudden sore throat come on. I felt dizzy and painful to swallow. I went the gp the following day and she said only one side was swollen but my heart/chest/back all sounded “fussy” so gave me antibiotics. A week later it was no better so I went back and saw a nurse.She told me I’m fine and it’s nothing they can do if the antibiotics didn’t work. It’s been over 3 weeks now. My tonsil is still very enlarged I feel like something is stuck in my throat all the time and I’m sure I can feel a pea sized lump in my kneck on the same side. The nurse has put me of going back so I’ve been avoiding it. Do I leave it and hope it just disappears? Or does it sound more sinister. I’m not in pain just uncomfortable with the swelling. Some days I can go without taking pain killers. It’s all on one side.
Thank you if you managed to read.
