Hello,
I know I'm probably being silly;
About 4 weeks ago I noticed my jaw was locked and I couldn't open my mouth, for 11 days I ignored it hopeing it would go away. It was only when I looked in my mouth on the left side and noticed in my tonsil site (don't have tonsils anymore) a rather strange circle growth with veins coming out of it, about a cm or two big. And some raw red discouraging to the area around up to the roof of my mouth.
I went to the GP and was sent away with the advice "take paracetamol and gargle salt water. It looks like an infection.
she felt my neck and did say my glands were up. But that was about all.
unhappy after 3 weeks that this was not going away I went to my dentist for a second opinion.
they x rated my tooth area just incase and couldn't see anything related to my teeth... I mean no surprise the sore area is in my tonsil site -___- but anyways they said maybe it's a gum infection and gave me antibiotics (clarithromycin) because I'm allergic to Flagly and Penicillin.
I'm about half way through the course of antibiotics at the moment and it isn't going.
today in the other side of my mouth in the same spot. I've noticed this weird white lump. Not hurting just weird, hiding in the place where my tonsil used to be.
the dentist said if it dosent go away in a week come back and we may have to send you for further tests.
im only 30 and obviously this is worrying me.
ive had tinnitus in the same side I'm having the problems for about 8 months dunno if that's relevant had had a CT scan a while back before the throat issues and they couldn't find a cause ect.
somehow in the back of mind feels like I know it's cancer but I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid and worrying for nothing
