At the moment I'm finding things really hard! Since Early December I've had a red irritated throat, more at the top where it goes up into the nose... this is more sore on the right hand side and had some ear pain on that side too. Also sometimes it feels like there is something in my throat/nose on that side as well. I went to the doctors twice... first time he said prob virus, sent me away. Second doctor gave me antibiotics which didn't help so then I booked myself a private ENT appt. He checked my neck and then did nose scope and said he saw nothing sinister to worry about and also wondered if it might be a virus. He commented that the entrance to my eustachian tube was a bit red on that side.... it would prob go away in a few weeks. Well a few weeks on and I'm still suffering and I think it has become worse. My HA is going mad wondering what if he missed something and that I do have some kind of nose or throat cancer... I'm petrified :( I think because I've never had anything like this before I'm so focussed on it.... I'm really miserable thinking the worst.
