Hi all.
I've been doing so well the last few months, life has been a lot less terrifying. I was obsessed with oral C and tongue C for about 6 months, but managed to sort of get over it. I thought I was so over it that I booked a holiday with my boyfriend, we go on Friday. Typically, something has happened in my mouth that is really scaring me, to the point where there will be no point getting on that plane if it's still there, because it's all I'm thinking about.
It started when I got tonsillitis back in March(ish) and noticed the back side of my tongue looked different to the other side. I think they're called lingual tonsils, on the back side of the tongue. Anyway, they were bigger than the other side, so I googled, scared myself silly, and went to the doctors about 8 times about it. She said I was fine. Saw an ENT guy, he said it was fine and NOT to google. Also saw my dentist about all of this. All said i'm fine. Ive still always had a niggle about it, but mostly let it go eventually. I went out for drinks with my friends on Thursday. Woke up Friday with a sore/ulcer on my tongue right next to the area that used to freak me out. Now I'm convinced that it's the 'one', and now when I go to the doctors they'll see something they missed before.
All I wanted to know is, if anyone else has had ulcers/sores on the back of their tongue? I really don't think I can go away if it's still there :( It's sore and like a little red bud shape with a tiny white head.
Can anyone help or give me some advice? I'm just so gutted and really upset. And obviously very freaked out.
Thank you. x
