I too had my ENT tell me to come back in 6 months. I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that and wanted to come every month - we agreed on every other month.

I would call your doctor’s office back and tell them you want to be seen sooner than 6 months. Ask them to check with your insurance (or you can call your insurance as well and ask them how soon you can be seen and still have it covered by insurance) to see when is the soonest you can be seen.

Being stressed about it is not good for you either.

Hope this helps!
