Hi everyone. Well this started about 6 months ago. My ear was totally blocked and I couldn't hear out of it properly and also my throat on the right side (same side as my ear) hurt me when I swallowed. Well eventually my ear got better and then my throat pain went away. Unfortunately, my throat pain keeps coming back. When it happens, its always on that same side and the pain travels to my ear. Sometimes it goes away and I think its gone for good but then it comes back again. A couple of weeks ago, all of my throat felt really sore so I plucked up the courage to see the doctor and he told me I had an infection and prescribed me a weeks worth of antibiotics (amoxycillin). My sore throat cleared up but unfortunately I've still got that pain when I swallow on my right side and the ear ache. I'm convinced I've got throat cancer. Its making me so depressed. I can't sleep or concentrate on anything with the worry. Also, there is sometimes this feeling like I've got something at the back of my throat but not all the time. My health in general seems to be ok although sometimes I have heartburn (acid comes into my mouth). I'm not coughing up blood or losing weight or anything but I'm out of my mind with worry. I've got another appointment with the doc on Wednesday but any ideas from you would be appreciated. Thankyou.
