I have had a swollen right tonsil since December 2019. I have had 2 sets of antibiotics and they have not sorted the issue out. I saw a ENT specialist on 27 February who said I had tonsillitis and I explained at this point it had been 2 months. He advised he would remove my tonsils if they were still in this state on my next visit. A month later we got lockdown so I did not get my appointment.  My pain has been unbearable so I called my doctor and she kindly wrote to the hospital for me . To cut a long miserable story short I had a MRI and I have been told I have a lingual tonsil on the right side which is causing me to remove black phlegm first thing of a morning.  I begged the surgeon to remove this tissue but she refused said I need antibiotics and she would post them . It's been a long weekend as my prescription has not turned up and I am as normal in pain. I am terrified I have the start of throat cancer cant get to see a doctor or a specialist.  Bad times
