Hi All
I am new here and currently having a few problems with my throat so i thought i would post what's going on and see if anyone has been through anything similar and can advise on their outcome.
So last year when i was pregnant i had a sore throat, as i was pregnant i wasn't sure if i could have anything for the pain so i went to the doctor who told me i had tonsil stones and that there was nothing to treat them, so i just got on with everything and kind of forgot about them until 2 days ago. I had a sudden sore throat which seemed a bit different to the normal regular sore throats i get, this time it had a bad taste with it which i haven't had before. So i checked my throat and i noticed the 'stone' was still there expect it had gotten a lot larger than what i remember from last year.
I went to the doctor yesterday who said that it definitely was not a stone and i should be referred to a ENT specialist for a second opinion. He also requested i had a blood test which i have had this morning. I asked the nurse what he had wrote on my notes as he didn't say much yesterday and she said he had put enlarged tonsil with lump and palpable cervical nodes.
I will now be waiting for the results of the blood test which i should have back next week and then waiting for a letter for a referral to see the ENT. I am just wanting to know if anyone has been through anything similar and if so what was the outcome?
Many thanks
