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 which private firm did you use?

Hi Chazz, 

I noticed you were trying to get in touch with Stub20. Unfortunately they have not been on the forum since 2020 so you may not hear back from them.
