Constant throat ulcers

Hello I was hoping someone could help. Since the beginning of August I had an awful time with tonsillitis which took 10 days to heal with antibiotics.  As my throat was healing I noticed j was in more pain and when j checked I saw my first every throat ulcer (had lots of ulcers growing up never in my throat area) and it took a week to go away and a new one appeared but different side. Since then j have had constant ulcers coming and going and it's sore tk swallow etc. I did the typical thing of googling it because it was strange and new tk me and I saw lots of things about cancer and its been worrying me. I suffer with dentist anxiety and sensory processing disorder so been too scared to call a Dr or dentist yet incase they think I'm overeating. What shoukd j do next 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, as nurses, we can't provide you with a medical opinion, but we can offer a broad comment on your situation.

    It isn't very likely to be anything serious such as cancer. It is most likely related to your recent tonsillitis, as you may have some chronic inflammation there.

    Do speak to your GP, and give them a history of your symptoms. They can assess you, and advise you further. They are very used to being asked to look inside mouths, and have experience in this area, so do contact them, to help sort out your health concern. 

    I hope that things improve for you soon,

    Wishing you the best,
