The last few days I have been coping really well, managing to rationalise most little niggles which I have felt, but today I am quite anxious again and just need q bit of advice or reassurance!
I had a cold which cleared up last week but I still have a slightly niggly cough which swiches between throaty and chesty, and I have quite a thick phlegm from time to time. This does not wrry me too much if I am honest as I know it is probably just part of the cold.
What is worrying me is that the glands under my chin are quite firm and don't seem to move, they are not painful but the whole area between my jaw, neck, shoulder, and around my collarbone feels tense/pressured and a bit stiffness.
Does anyone have any nformation about how long I should leave the swollen glands before seeing my gp? I know it is probably because of my cold, but would the stiffness in my shoulder/neck/jaw/collarbone area be caused by swollen glands?
I have hat the same feeling in several areas in my body and I am just beginning to worry that I am attributing my symptoms to health anxiety when in actual fact I am ill!
