Hi youngin, I am a typical victim of doctors' misdiagnosis 5 years ago. I had consulted 4 doctors including ENTs, none of whom were concerned about my swollen left tonsil since I didnit drink or smoke.They kept on giving me antibiotics. When the hard lump appeared on the same side of the neck, I grew worried and the antibiotics didn't have any effect on both the tonsil and lump. It took me almost 9 months to get to an ENT expert who arranged a biopsy and found that it was stage 4 cancer already. My ignorance was largely to blame for the delayed diagnosis because I have to be in control of my own health problem. Get a biopsy asap to ensure peace of mind and you can start getting on with your life, as usual.
