Please call your GP as I think you need proper medical advice. Hope you can get an appointment soon. Good luck.

I have been trying but I thought I might try here while trying

[Lolabridge in reply to Nikki70]

Not being able to swallow and get solids down needs your doctor's attention so ask for an appointment tomorrow.

Complete a 111 form online to obtain advice if impossible to access GP (know the feeling). If actually you think you would need to see an ear nose and throat specialist attend A+E.

Hi Nikki70 , sorry to hear you're having such problems at the moment.

We'd highly recommend you speak to your GP or healthcare professional about how you've been feeling, and what they'd recommend based on your own medical history and background.

You can also call 111 on your phone for immediate advise if you're struggling to get through to your healthcare professional.

Let us know how you get on!
