Hello Everyone
I do hope everyone is keeping well in these very strange times. I was wondering if anyone can help me. I was diagnosed with thyroid problems (Hashimotos) in October 2019. I have had problems with swallowing all of this time and a while before. I have had the camera down the throat that showed nothing. Some days it seems worse than others. Last week I shined my phone torch in my mouth and at the back of my mouth behind my tongue I can see a swelling, a bit bobbly with a couple of marks and my speech sounds a bit thick (nothing from the front of my neck). I phoned the doctors in a state of panic to be asked if I could send a photo which I did. The doctor got back to me as she thought I had severe tonsillitis but it was only on one side. I asked would I have had it for so long. Anyway, to cut a long story short she has given me 10 days of very strong antibiotics and I have a phone consultation with the ENT part of my local hospital next Thursday. Apart from that, I was with the right medication and vitamins starting to feel so much better. Still a bit heavier weight wise than I would rather be but feeling so much better than about 11 months ago. Please help
