Throat problems

I have had a bad throat for around 4 months now, it started off as chronic tonsillitis but my glands keep going up and the feels something sharp at the back of my throat. They give me antibiotics and they work to a pint but the thing in my throat doesn't go. The done a swab no infection, blood test inflammatory markers are Normal. Doctor said if it was cancer he would be able to tell by the blood test and by looking at my eyes, is this true? So worried as it's been going on for ages

  • Hello Kaz22

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some ongoing health concerns for a few months now. It's good to hear that the swab and blood tests didn't raise any issues but you're obviously still concerned. 

    I'd suggest getting back in touch with your GP if you're worried or ask if there is another GP at the surgery can that you can see for a second opinion. 

    I do hope that they're able to give you some reassurance and that things improve soon. 

    Best wishes,
