Just got back from the ENT. I explained to him my risk factors and symptoms. I also let him know that I was concerned about SCC. He gave me an oral exam and checked my neck out. He said that I didn't have oral cancer but that I do have infected tonsils. I was suprised to learn that an infection in your tonsils could cause so many crazy symptoms. Anyhow, he prescibed me some steriods and antibiotics. If the drugs don't work he wants to get rid of them (the tonsils). Thanks to everybody on this forum for advice and support. I am really not a drama queen, I just play one on the internet.
