Swollen Right Tonsil And Other Symptoms Posted: 02-28-07 09:48am
About 3 weeks ago my dentist noticed I had
a swollen right tonsil. Since I have not
been sick and he is fairly certian that it
has not been there all along he urged to
to go to my doctor. I went to my doctor
and she took a look at it and did a strep
test that was negitive. It have no pain
from it and there are no white spots. She
reffered me to and ENT. My apointment with
him is on Mrch 8th. Since I have seen my
doctor a week ago I have developent a
relentless headache that seems to be
immune to asprin, motrin, etc and a pluged
ear sensation. I have also noticed that
there is a tender spot under my armpit and
it seems a bit swollen compared to my
other one. Not a hard lump of any kind but
kind of soft swollen spots.
Should I go back to my regular doctor with
this new stuff or just wait to see the ENT
next Thrusday? Looking on line at the
whole swollen tonsil thing is terrifying.
If it is not something bad what else could
it be? I guess I am just looking for some
reasuring words and some posibilties
besides the whole cancer option that I am
finding out there.
