Lump in throat now one side of my tongue is sore

I began with an ear infection back in october which i had 2 lots of antibiotics for. It went away after about 3 weeks then in december i had a throat infection and completely lost my voice. I was given a high dose of antibiotics as i had a yellow cyst on the back of my throat. Fast forward 6 weeks and i have the same cyst which is bigger and sharp pain in my ear. The back of my tongue is sore and when i swallow i feel like i have a lump in my throat. I keep getting sharp pains in my neck. I saw the gp on tuesday and by friday i had received a letter from ent for an appt this thursday. Has anyone else had similar? I am quite a positive person so am hopeful all will be ok.  If it is something sinister there is nothing i can do to change it anyway. Any input appreciated. Thanks.
