A little scared!

Hi I'm a newbie today and just need to ask the people In the know a question or two please?

I am waiting for a fast track appointment to ENT for a problematic throat which started 5weeks ago. I had acute tonsilitis for which I had a10 day course of antibiotics (only had telephone appointment) As soon as the course ended the symptoms came back but worse, again a phone app and another week of meds. The whole while my throat felt strange and I knew there was something that didn't feel right (I've had tonsilitis alot when younger) fast forward and following another course of meds I insisted on face-to-face app. So now waiting for ENT App. My throat feels like something is stuck, I can swallow ok but I have ear pain and it hurts when I yawn plus a little croaky. I also have a taste like poison in my mouth and one tonsil slightly larger. Sorry for the rant, did anyone have a similar experience please, im quite worried but dont want to worry my family. Thankyou so much.

  • Hello Kingy61

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling worried. 
    Do you know how long you may have to wait for the appointment with the specialist? If things do change while you're waiting for the appointment then don't be afraid to get back in touch with your GP and update them. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long and the Consultant will be able to give you some reassurance about your situation. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
