Hi

its been a couple of weeks since I posted. ive been trying to keep off the internet as you advised.

The lump is still there and the dentist is referring me to the max facial department at my local hospital. I asked why not the ent dept and she said that max/fax deal with mouths. She also said its the nhs so the appointment wont be until after my holiday.

I don't know if I mentioned but ive been having pains in my ears for the last month. They also feel blocked especially when I swallow. Ive noticed my tonsils and throat are also red {not swollen though} and the glands under my chin are both swollen and tender either side. { I think they are the submandular glands} I am still struggling to swallow saliva, could all these be linked?

Rhe ear ache is the worst bit as it quite painful and keeping me awake. Does anyone know what could be causing these symptoms?
