Heya . 
this exact scenario happened to me . My symptoms were a large right tonsil and earache on the right side going into my neck and occasional pain in my left ear . My throat isn't sore, just a bit achy. 
I had a telephone appointment too which was a bit useless as they can't see anything. I went in for a face to face and they put a camera up my nose and booked an mri . It all came back fine and not showing anything sinister but I have to return in October for a follow up to see how things are . They couldn't really explain the earache and I've now had on and off earache for 6-7 weeks . 
Someone else told me that most of the time these urgent referrals turn out to be nothing , I panicked and googled myself crazy and it did me no good whatsoever. 
I too had no lymph node swelling and they said that is a really positive sign . 
try and relax as best you can ,I know it's not easy but distraction is good.  here if you want to chat or add me as a friend x

Hi Winnie14, 

Thank you so much for your response and your story is very re-assuring! Hearing that really made me less stress and i`ve realised that there could be a happy end to this story. I will try to keep myself busy and not stress before I get results... 

I hope your ear ache will go away soon and never get back xx 

Hi 

I am the similar - had an MRI, but now I am going in for a biopsy as a slight asymmetry was noticed at the base of the tonge - so, very scared right now.   It's good your mri came clear. 

Hiya BPkr ,

Is it a biospy of your tongue or tonsils ? I have asymmetrical tonsils and they did say that can be caused by many other things than cancer , inflammation , reflux and post nasel drip being a few of reasons . x

My tonsils look asymmetrical to me, but that was not discussed -  it the letter I received it says  asymmetry at the base of the toungue ...I do have reflux and post nasal drip.
It will be long days & weeks ahead by the time I know the results.

Thanks Winnie, pleased things seem fine for you & hope ear ache eases off - hay fever? 

Hopefully it won't be too long before you get some answers , if they are not rushing I would take this as a positive? 
 

thank you , I would just like to know the cause of my earache but no one seems to be able to tell me . 
 

best of luck to you x

Hi there. I just had a nasendospocy and MRI two days ago. Its all clear except I have a little inflammation on the left tonsil which I may have to check in few weeks (as follow up appointment) so I feel much calmer now.. The pain is still there like in your case Winnie and the doctor suggested I may have to get it removed in the future if the symptoms persist. I was also diagnosed with an acid reflux so this may be causing all the problems. I hope he biopsy came ok for you BPkr! 

Thanks for your support X 

Hiya Martynana

I'm so pleased your scan was clear . What symptoms are you still having? I'm still having ear and neck pain :( 

yes I've heard acid reflux can deffo cause inflammation in the tonsil .

xx

thank you , That's exactly how I feel , pressure on one side of my throat and earache on and off throughout the day . I do get hayfever too. I've had this earache 6-7 weeks now but would be a lingering infection I guess . I'm hoping all goes back to normal by October as I don't fancy a tonsillectomy:( 

my mri scan just showed a slightly larger right tonsil and the nose camera was normal too. I'm sure I have stones in it though as I can feel and taste them :(
