Hi
I have been really struggling with my throat, it is constantly swollen and my glands on left side are huge. I also feel like I have a lump in my throat and my most recent symptom is an extremely dry tongue.
It started in Feb I had a really sore and swollen throat. I was treated for strep and put on a 10 day course of penicillin.
shortly after treatment (start of March) I got severe tonsillitis. My doctors refused to see me due to Covid and just prescribed me another course of antibiotics over the phoen.I was still in pain and went to see a nurse who told me I also had a quinsy abscess and to keep an eye on it.
my glands are all swollen but mainly my left and have been since Feb.
After this course of antibiotics my throat swelled again but this time it was my uvulva. It doubled in size. I went to my doctors who told me I am fine and sent me away. The next day I called for a second opinion and was fobbed off and given yet anoyher 10 day course of antibiotics, without being seen.
This is really effecting my mental health. I am 27 and really fear I have cancer. The doctors are saying I'm too young but that's ridiculous. I have left the doctors and transferred to another as I am so unhappy with the way I have been treated. They refused an ent and have done no other tests. I have an appointment booked in next week with my new doctors but have to wait 7 days till then.
im hoping I will get some answers.
I just want to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and what was the outcome?
