Advice needed doctors haven’t been very good

Hi all. I’m just looking for advice really to see if anyone else has had any of the same symptoms as I’m starting to get very worried. My doctors aren’t very good. I’ve been unwell since November. Started as body aches and a sore throat on one side, they initially said tonsillitis. Then referred me to ENT recently who couldn’t see anything except potential reflux. Taken tablets for that hasn’t helped with symptoms. Ent then added if the symptoms don’t go away we’ll do an MRI for tumours in your head and neck. Which worried me but since then I’ve developed a red lump inside my bottom lip it’s quite sore hasn’t gone away with any prescriptions. I’ve been having tight squeezing in the bottom of my neck daily. Constant aching collar bones also noticed slight swelling on left collar bone. Aching body, Fatigue & swelling on the left side of throat. Doctors felt the neck said he’s not concerned but come back in two weeks and we’ll refer you if it’s not better. I have a one year old and I’m struggling to concentrate on him and get anything done because of how I’m feeling and I’m worried as I was a smoker until this. Any advice appreciated. May also add I am due to get two wisdom teeth out tomorrow as I wasn’t sure if that could cause swelling aching etc they have been bleeding

Get the dentist to look at the red lump, and tell them your other neck symptoms
