Please can anyone help. Mum noticed my right side of neck was swollen Sunday. Then I started to panic and feel a bit sick etc which is normal for me with HA.
Then I saw GP on Mon who thought tooth infection as my wisdom tooth is playing up again. Gave me ABs (Clarithromycin) and told me to see dentist. I said i was worried about leukaemia or lymphoma. Said unlikely and if hasn't gone down in 1/2 weeks go back for blood tests but do go to dentist.
Saw dentist yesterday and dentist said wisdom tooth is inflamed and that could cause the swelling but not necessarily. However, she said don't worry. I am now absolutely terrified and can't distract myself. My throat feels as though it is slightly sore and maybe something blocking it a little bit. The doc felt my neck but not my throat but there are no lumps. It is not painful. My tooth isn't as bad as it has been but I know my lymph nodes did go up last time when it was bad.
I feel tired and nauseus but I am in the process of moving house at the weekend and have exams at the beginning of jan and so have been even more stressed than usual so don't know if this has contributed.
Just want to enjoy Christmas but feel unable to move.
Please help.
