Sore throat and ear pain for weeks now.

Hi everyone, I hope you can help :happy:

im 29 years old and I've had a sore throat on just the left side and a pain in my left ear now for around 2 months. I've got a feeling that something is stuck in my throat causing me to keep clearing it. On further inspection I've found a puss filled spot (maybe) that doesn't hurt or irritate me on the right side of my tongue right at the very back it's nearly impossible to see along with very very swollen taste buds at the back and another puss filled white spot at the back of my throat on the left that's been there for months and I didn't take much notice of it, obviously now I'm starting to worry.  

I've also got a swollen node on my neck (left side again) which has been scanned with ultrasound and they wanted a rescan before biopsy was taken but I never got around to it with all the covid.

with everything going on with covid my drs aren't seeing anyone and the first time I called on the 15th March I was advised to gargle salt water for a week obviously with no effect I called back 17th April  and a dr phoned me and prescribed me a 7 day corse of amoxicillin.  if nothing changes then I will have to call back for a referral to ENT. Obviously that's tomorrow and I feel no different at all from the antibiotics :cry: I'm so worried that amongst all this I will have a problem being seen or looked at to put my mind at ease. Everything I've googled points to some form or throat or tongue cancer and I'm a mess. I hope I'm not rambling on too much I just feel like I need some reassurance right now. Thanks all

  • Similar here , feeling of something sharp stuck in my throat and pain shooting into alternating ears. Been trying to get someone to look in my throat for months but everything is just telephone consultations, ( all of which make me feel like I'm wasting their time, despite the fact I had not previous seen my GP for about 10 years).

    My anxiety is off the level so I feel your pain. I have to admit its been great reading about other people suffering similar conditions as I realise im not mad and am quite right to feel anxious about what arr very real syptoms.

  • What did yours turn out to be? Please let me know xx
