Hi all.
I'm trying very hard not to panic but obviously that's not working.
A few weeks ago (2ish) I was sick with a sore throat. My kids had a cold and I felt like garbage. I had tonsil stones,, too. It lasted a few days and then seemed to go away. Then, about 4 days later my husband got sick with a sore throat/body aches/generally feeling crappy. I followed suit a few days later.
Now, here I am almost a week out and still in pain. I thought it was getting better but mowbit seems bad again. The pain is in my tonsils and I've had plenty of tonsil stones again. I also have pain down the sides of my neck. My husband had the same.
Whatbis really freaking me out is the pain under my tongue. It's like the right side of my mouth floor is sore. I've looked and I can't see anything strange other than redness from being sick. But under my tongue was hurting enough to wake me up in the of the night. It hurts if I swallow and also hurts around my jaw if I press on the same area from the outside.
I googled (I know, I know) and now i think i have some sort of oral cancer. Logiclly, I know I dont. The pain gets better if I take tylenol or advil and my husband says he had the same thing. But the very irrational side of my mind refuses to believe it's anything other than the worst case scenario.
I've had a strep test done and it was negative.
No visible swelling, either and I dont feel any lumps.
Typing it all out makes it seem so ridiculous but I just can't get past the fear.
I'm trying to make another appointment with my doctor but she's away.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
