Throat and ears

hi, I’m looking for a bit of advice 

since 2017 October I’ve been taking serious sore throats off and on, strep throat and throat infections so on November 2018 ENT decides to remove my tonsils straight away. I got them out last week of November I knew I would be in pain afterwards but since then I’ve gotten three antibiotics none are helping the pain I’m in my throat keeps swelling up and going back down my ears are constantly cracking and aching especially my left ear it feels like I’m loosing hearing. Ive lost 3 stone also. I was talking to a pharmacist today and he thinks there’s something else going on, I’m looking of any advice for my doctor to take me serious and get to the bottom of this

  • Hi Una96 and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry to read of the problems you've been having and for how long this has been going on.

    Do you have more than one doctor at your GP surgery? If so, you could book an appointment to see a different doctor to get a second opinion.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had similar problems will be along soon to share their advice and experiences with you but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to get their thoughts on this. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    All the best,
