Okay, I still haven't been back to the ent, but am planning to go. Now my right side tonsil isn't sore anymore, but the left one is most of the time. It swells ocassionally, not much, but some and causes me discomfort. The last time I was at the ent the doc said it had some scar tissue in it, but that was it. He did a fairly thorough exam, and I did have scopes and stuff way back. It has been since february now that the left side has been bothering me. It just feels like something is in it. I have managed to get tonsil stones out of the right one on a regular basis and that really helps with the pain.
Now, the weird thing, sometimes the pain will go away completely for a week, two weeks, the longest period was three weeks with no pain. Does this happen with throat cancer? Can it just go away and come back again. Thanks to all who have answered me. My ent does not want to take my tonsils out, I am going to try to get into another ent, but it takes time where I am.
Thanks for any insight from anyone.
Take care and bless you all.
