Hi I would just like some advice if possible as I'm not sure if it's just me over worrying and being dramatic but I've had a very severe sore throat for 4 weeks now and have tried everything to help it, it also feels as if it is closing up at times, also very sore to swallow. I've been to see my GP twice who the first time sent me away and told me to buy some throat spray I then went back as this didn't work and they prescribed me with a course of penicillin on Monday, I have just finished the course as it is no better. I am 24 years old and have smoked for 5-6 years 10 cigarettes a day. I have totally convinced myself that it is throat cancer and I'm not sure if I'm just being silly or not but it is really worrying me and I feel like my GP are just shoving me away with things to shut me up. They said if after the antibiotics haven't made it any better to go back but that will be the 3rd time and what if they just shove me off again. I have massively reduced my cigarette intake and also plan to stop on Monday. Am I just over worrying myself for no reason? Thank you xx
