Swollen left tonsil, with pressure on ear cheek and neck!!

Hi everyone,

So I guess I'm here for some reassurance and some honosty and information if possible.

I have one large left tonsil , constant feeling of a lump in my throat, pressure on my left ear & cheek with pain and in my neck. My throat is getting dry constantly and it sore. When I'm eating I feel irrated on the back of my tongues and throat. And pain just inbetween my breast at the top. 

I've been to doctor a few times now but she gives me anti inflammatories says it nothing to worry about. I finally got her to refer me to an ENT but I must wait a few weeks for that.  

I dont know if my "symptoms" are heightened by my aniexty but I feel like I'm loosing my mind. I have 3 small kids 5, 3 & 2. And I'm so afraid. Literally the only thing on my mind 24/7 although I put up a brave front. My partner just won't talk about it until we have something to talk about.  

 Of course the dreaded Cancer is on my mind.

    Hi Milly did you ever figure out what was going on with your throat issue and something stuck in it. I have have been suffering same exact symptoms going on 4 months now and have had many tests.. ct scan, ultrasound, laryngoscopy... I am on omoprazole with no relief whatsoever. It is depressing me as I feel worried there is a cancer somewhere that is being missed. Definitely I know this is not all in my head. The issues I have with my throat and left side of my face is definitely real but no explanation as to what is causing this. I literally just woke up with it one morning in early january and it has been with me ever since. I know its been a long time since you've posted and I hope its because your situation has resolved and you have gone on with your life, but any insight you would be willing to give would be much appreciated!
