Hello I'm just writing to see if anyone else has been in the same boat I'm going out of my mind with worry!
I'm 27, have never smoked and drink occasionally on weekends. About 2 months ago my throat started to ache like I had been coughing too hard, a couple of weeks later I checked my throat and saw swelling behind my right tonsil that covered almost halfway across my throat to my uvula, this led to tonsillitis a day or so later that went away after a course of antibiotics.
A few days later the swelling was still there but then my soft palette at the back of the top of my mouth was really sore and it felt like my throat was being constricted. I went to see my GP on 4th Nov who checked my mouth and said every thing looked normal, it didn't look or feel normal to me but I listened and he said the inflammation will go away within 7-10 days. 2 weeks later still no changes so I went back for a second opinion and he also said he saw no abnormalities and checked my neck and throat for lumps and there were none, he put the lump in my throat to 'globus sensation.' He did refer me to ENT but that's a 6 month wait. It's now 29th Nov and the swelling is still there and the soreness on my palette isn't going away along with the lump in my throat feeling.
I just want to know if anyone has experienced the same and what the end result was for them? im going to ring the dentist tomorrow to see if they can see me to get an answer and hopefully an outcome.
apologies for the long message, thank you
