Hi all,

I've had problems with my throat for several months now. Below are a list of ongoing symptoms I have had:

  • A constant cough
  • Tongue sores on the left or right of my tongue at the far back
  • Asymmetric tonsils (one side is much larger than the other as shown in the photo)
  • The larger side of my throat has a warm, swollen and pussy part to the right of my uvula (the left side is totally fine)

Any ideas on what this could be? I had a blood test taken and there was nothing found. But my GP said that the asymmetry of my tonsils doesn't look right, so I have an ENT referral but the waitlist is up to 34 weeks (which is a long time to wait given I've been experiencing the discomfort for a few months now).

Thank you

John
