Hi - i'm new here and hoping you might be
able to help me.
Last friday I woke up with swollen tonsils
and neck glands. My throat hurt a bit,
but only on swallowing - and my neck
glands hurt when I pressed them. I also
felt tired and a bit irritable (!).
By sunday, my neck glands were no longer
swollen or painful and the sore throat had
gone. But the swollen tonsils were still
there (albeit painless) - and they still
are today. Also my ears feel 'blocked
up'.
I have had strep throat in the past - and
it was very very painful - nothing like
this. I also had glandular fever
(epstein barr) when I was 17 (i am now
33). So I really can't think what is
going on here!
Also, as far as I can see, there is no
white/ grey 'covering' on the tonsils, or
while patches/ulcers on them. They just
seem to be bigger than usual.
I have no other symptoms e.G.
Cold/cough/nasal drip etc. However,
there was a small amount of yellowish
phlegm (sorry!!).
