Enlarged Tonsil- Cancer?

Hi I'm an 18 year old female

I've noticed a painless swollen tonsil for a couple months now and have developed a persistent cough lasting around 6 weeks. These things have made me quite worried as I know I am in a healthy age group group should NOT be getting these types of symptoms. I am worried that a GP may just dismiss my claims and send me with painkillers when I know my symptoms don't need them as a lot of people on here get misdiagnosed and messed about by doctors . Please help!!

  • Hi I have not had the ENT appointment yet as I caught scarlet fever on top of a severe throat infection taking antibiotics currently!.Though my chest xray was clear. Doctors said antibiotics GP originally gave me weren't strong enough so I would urge you to get checked out but hopefully its treatable like me .
