Hi everyone, I'm trying to keep the panic at bay, but... I'm currently suffering from some sort of infection. It started with a fever, chills, and body aches. the following day my throat felt very sore and I suspected another dose of tonsillitis (second one this year!). I looked at my tonsils in the mirror to check and there was a whitish yellow spot on my right tonsil. It is NOT a tonsil stone - I used to get those as a kid and it's not that. It looks like a pool of pus/fluid/mucus? It can't be wiped off.
My rational mind is telling me this is all connected with the infection - I went to the doctor today and she diagnosed bacterial pharyngitis. I have lost my voice almost completely - this is freaking me out too! - and have been coughing up phlegm.
Has anyone had what I describe on their tonsil? I am trying so hard not to think it might be cancer as I haven't read anything that says that's even how it presents, but I am so scared because it hasn't started to go down yet after five days. Am I just being too impatient? I know I am very run down at the moment and have never had anything to make me feel this crappy and lose my voice for more than 24 hours.
