Hi,
I'm not sure what to say as I know nobody can diagnose me. I'm just hoping to have somewhere to vent and hopefully someone who's been in similar situation can shed light on what in going through.
In February I had severe tonsillitis. My tonsil swelling was so severe I couldn't breathe if I lay down. The gp gave me antibiotics and I felt better after a few weeks.
A few months later i noticed that when I swallowed i could feel something in the back of my throat so I checked it and noticed that my right tonsil was enlarged and the left one was flat . I went to the gp and they gave me antibiotics which did nothing. I went back and he referred me to ENT.
I saw the ENT and he put a camera up my nose and throat and said he couldn't see anything but my throat looked red and the tonsil was bigger on the right side. He sent me for an MRI scan. The MRI scan came back clear but I have 2 10mm swollen lymph nodes on the right side below my ear. The ENT said he wants to remove my tonsils for histology.
I am now waiting for the surgery but the waiting lists are long and it's been 2 months. Since then my throat is sore on the right side I have pressure in my ear and jaw, my lymph nodes haven't gone down. Doctors keep giving me antibiotics which are not working.
I've been very anxious the last few days because no one has told me what's wrong. I'm panicking they have missed something and I'm sat here waiting. I'm not sure what to think. My throat and neck feels so uncomfortable. Anyone been through similar? Thanks
