Hi

i had same problem it started in 2016. Though it was tonsillitis but after six weeks of the sore throat I thought it's something els. Drs weren't to helpful and said it's probably acid reflux. One dr said it's because I mouth breath while sleeping. A year later and the problem comes and goes. I bit the bullet and paid to go private. I had a consultation with an ENT specialist. Turns out I had a raging infection in my tonsil on the right side which could only be seen by having an endoscopy. I was  told it could possibly be cancerous but also told cancer is very unlikely. I had my tonsils removed (March 2017) at the cost of £4500 and that was the end of the sore throat's. Biopsy came back all clear. Long story short I had another operation 8 months after having my tonsils removed this was to remove a cyst on my throat which was likely caused by the infection of the tonsils.. this operation was done on the NHS. everything has been fine up until about six weeks ago the sore throat is back but now on the left side. Drs are a waist of time so I'll be paying for another consultation with an ENT specialist. 

Hi 

I am worrying myself sick at the moment as I have convinced my-self I have throat cancer it all started about 5 weeks ago when I had been consuming to much wine and had a buring pain in my tummy and kept feeling sick after eating etc so called GP who put me on acid reflux tablets and said if didn't settle I need to have a H Pylori test which I did and that was negative Anyway then my throat starts to play up and I found a small lump under my jaw and got an appointment on the 22/09 and she said I'm sure it's nothing but your throat is very red and that was weird as I had no pain so then she said I needed a scan for which I am still waiting for , I have now started to get severe burning on and off and now have little lumps at the back of my throat on the side of my swollen lymph node ! I said to her about it and she said it didn't look like anything other than swollen nodes on my tonsils .. I now have got a lump when I swallow and keep having to clear my throat which hurts but last week I had ragging eat and jaw pain and they put me on 250mg of fluflixicilon which had helped with ear but made throat worse and I feel they are not strong enough but hey ho and now I'm so anxious again as daily I'm noticing different things and I feel the longer I'm left the worse it's getting and I've given up coffee /wine /spine/toms and other things and making no difference .. I would love to hear if anyone has had anything like this ..
