Hi, im 32 weeks pregnant, 30 years old and pretty frightened about my tonsillar pillar areas. I went to the dentist pre symptoms in May for a general check and all okay. In Mid June, started to experience what i can only describe as funny sensations down my right side of tongue with associated ear ache. I visited GP and got some antibiotics 4 an ear infection. To be fair, synptoms cleared.

However.... Since end of june / beg of July, i noted red patches on my tonsillar pillar areas on both sides. They seem to extend up in exactly the same way onto the edge of my soft palate. At first, i put it down to all the messing / poking around id done when i was experiencing the tongue sensations (i kept pulling back my tongue to have a look) Alongside the redness is the on / off ear ache in both ears and general funny feelings in my mouth. Ie one minute i have a horrible sore throat / shooting pains and then it goes. Then, i have funny sensations down my tongue or neck & again, they go. They reappear but spontaneously & i can never be sure what area of my mouth will be affected next!!

I have an appointment at the dentist friday to get checked but im so frightened as these red, long shaped areas arent going and neither are the associated symptoms. Im pretty much sure that ive got C. Has anybody had symptomd such as these??
