Hi All,
I have recently had a really stressful period in my life and just as things are settling down, i get a funny scratchy feeling in my throat about 3 weeks ago and felt so under the weather. During this time my nodes under my jaw also came up and started to really hurt. 3 weeks on, the node has gone down (but I can still feel it) and no longer hurts but now my tonsils really hurt whenever I swallow and when I shined a torch down my throat I could clearly see that my left tonsil is red and swollen with white dots on it.
I went on google and there was someone telling a story about how he had a persistent sore throat and swollen lymph nodes which turned out to be cancer . I am freaking out and trying to calm myself down but I cant help noticing the sharp pain whenever I swallow and going to feel my nodes. I went to the doctors who told me to get a covid test which I did and it turned out negative. I am so scared I kept crying tonight and I am a nervous wreck.
Am I losing it or should I go seek a second opinion.
Any help would be appreciated
