I was eating lunch earlier today when I said ‘oh, that’s weird, literally just this instant my throat has started hurting’. It was strange because it really was one minute nothing and then it felt painful to swallow
It is now almost 11pm and the pain is a bit worse, not horrible, but feels more difficult to swallow? Like there’s a narrowing or something they means it’s harder for my saliva to go down. I’m not panicky or in horrendous pain, but I’ve definitely noticed a reduction in now east it is for saliva or liquid to go down, like it’s more narrow
I had a look in the mirror with my phone torch 🔦 I can see one pussy spot behind the left tonsil but nothing else
If it’s the same in the morning, do I need a GP appointment?
I only ask because around 12 months ago I had a UTI and GP said any other symptoms. I briefly mentioned a bit of a sore throat - she said it was pussy so that means bacterial, and gave me antibiotics to cover both UTI and throat infection. Google seems to suggest a bacterial case of tonsillitis is in fact Strap A throat? It was fine anyway, cleared up the next day
I mentioned this because like I said, today I can see only one spot of puss that’s looking to be behind the tonsil. However, with tonsillitis that was bacterial, I had a look and the tonsils were all pussy and nasty
Any advice appreciated as it’s quite a miserable experience and quite annoying!
