I have had very painful swollen lymph glands for 6 weeks . Feeling fatigued, sore throat aching / stiff neck . It all started after a scratch on the roof of my mouth and progressed from there. I had a week off work as felt so I'll few weeks ago but went back to work. The symptoms persist and had a throat swab negative to bacteria . As in medical profession asked for EBV for Glandular Fever blood test . This came back as had but a while ago. After badgering my GP for 6 weeks got urgent ENT appointment . Today waited 1hr 1/2 to be seen as running late. Did not go into symptoms . Checked neck said no swelling, had scope said reflux . I'm on Omerazole and have no heart burn . Said take Gaviscon 4 times aday. Didn't listen to what I was saying. Said bloods normal which was taken way before these symptoms and for hormone check . Said positive EBV oh right he said , that was it !! He was running very late and rushing. No scan, No bloods . I think it's Glandular fever and slowly recovering. So painful around neck , coughing headaches . I said don't get tender armpits from reflux ?? Just looked at me like I was an idiot . I think I need to go private if doesn't settle. I can feel swollen glands under chin and so tender . I've given 37+ years as nurse and midwife and when I need answers just don't have the time for me
