Cyst

Hi, has anyone had a lump on tonsil ,given antibiotics with penicillin while waiting for  visit  to ENT in June and a syringe was used to drain it . Had to go back to the doctor's a week later it had returned saw a different doctor who said I had tonsillitis and was given more antibiotics with penicillin , I told the doctor it wasn't tonsillitis and I had to have a course of antibiotics with penicillin earlier but did nothing . I was sent home with them noñ the less . I returned after 3 days saw another doctor with earache ask if he would get me back to ENT It's now the 28th July still in pain with earache and,headache the earliest appointment is August 7th and this is a so called an emergency appointment. Has anyone else had a Cyst on the tonsil and it came back. I'm sorry I'm going on a bit but I don't believe it's a cyst.If it was would they have done tests on the stuff they got out. To make sure.

 

  • Hi Molly

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with this tonsil cyst and the other associated symptoms. It sounds as if it's really beginning to drag you down. 

    I'm unsure from your post when you were told that it was a cyst and if it was the GP or the Consultant that told you. Cysts can refill after they've been drained and it's unfortunate that yours sounds as if it possibly has. 

    Hopefully your appointment next week will bring some relief in terms of the daily pain you're dealing with and some reassurance that there is nothing sinister underlying. 

    Best wishes,

  • Today I had my appointment 7th Aug 3.20pm saw the specialist at ENT again but the main man this time . I wil be admitted to Hospital to have a Biopsy, Oesophagoscopy and something else I can't even read its something like Larymaopharyngor . Now I am worried after he told me all the things that could happen. damage to teeth throat ect. I didn't even ask any questions It  was a bit in shock. What happens after the biopsy will the cyst still be there . I am worried sick now icnt stop thinking about it.
