Still another 2 and a half weeks till I see an ENT doctor about my throat! It’s giving me so much anxiety waiting this long!! Not knowing what is wrong with me is the worst!! Also I just want it to be all over so I can start drawing again since I haven’t been able to do any art since my throat problems started in February due to being in too much discomfort!
I’ve Put a picture of my throat a few weeks ago not long after I finished my last course of antibiotics and my throat now. I feel like both sides have become more swollen although I think my right side is the worse of the 2 and it’s so much more red now!
I was watching tv with my mum earlier and I had to stop watching it because I was in that much discomfort with my throat and neck! I felt like the right side of my neck got a lot more swollen tonight! I feel like this has ruined everything I enjoy. I can’t play video games properly, watch tv, read, draw! It’s making me so depressed!!
I feel like the worst of it isn’t even in my throat I’m actually getting no pain in the throat all of the discomfort is in my neck since the sides and front of my neck feel rlly hard and swollen and I have this weird feeling of something around my neck like a choker necklace but I’m not wearing one it’s really weird.
Honestly I wish these 2 weeks would just hurry up already I want to know what’s wrong!!! 😭😭😭

If you are suffering Anxiety are you playing with your mouth in any was, because if you are worried you may be playing with the interior of the mouth.
You will hopefully be seeing the Specialist in two weeks time, however it MAY Happen the appointment will be pushed to a later date because of the Virus knocking about at this time.
It may be an idea to use Mouthwash to flush your mouth as well. That will keep the mouth clean. If you are poking your mouth with a toothbrush that can cause redness and pain. I look at your photographs and it looks more red on one side ?
I am not a specialist in dentistry or the mouth, so whatever I think sad to say the redness can be caused by many things.
You need to attend a Specialist, remember if we are poking or anything else we can cause damage. Try and leave things alone if that is what is going on ?????
Yeah I’m not playing with it cause I don’t want to go near it with anything 😂 I gag when I put something that far back in my mouth anyways. I was using mouthwash but I stopped using it so I might start using it again. And yeah it’s more red on the right side of my throat
You can try a salt mouth wash as well that can rid infections as well. You can try toothpastes with a mouthwash in them that will supplement a mouth wash.
I seem to remember Single is one of them, the toothpaste has a red stripe incorporated into the white of the paste
Try organic sea salt with warm water? Rinse your mouth 3 times a day. I spelt my gum and it really helped to heal it. Even my dentist recommended that I continue using it. 👍🏼 mouth and gum are sensitive areas, I agree, do not poke or brush against it. Anxiety can make things seem worse. Believe me I’ve been there. Right a diary or talk to someone about how you are feeling, it may help ease your anxiety. Take care .
