    You might have acid reflux problem that could have been brought on by stress and anxiety.

    Something similar happened to me. One day I was eating really fast and choked and coughed and coughed. But there seemed to be soething stuck in my throat. Went to ENT they scoped down my throat. Said they saw nothing there. But everytime I swallow it felt like something was there. Doctor keeps saying that maybe I was stressed and it's all in my head. I was not sure I believed them.

    I also had a swollen gland on the right side of my neck for no reason. ENT said if it grows bigger it had to be operated on. They said my tonsils were white and so infected and the lymphnodes got swollen. Got antibiotics. Don't remeber the name of it. If the swelling goes down when they give antibiotics then it was an infection, if you take the antibiotics and it doesn't go down, that means it's something else.

    Hope this information helps.

    All you can do  is go to the doctors. Steo by step. Ive been there with my own ailments and it is anxiety producing to put it lightly, but its all you can do. I am not a fan of doctors to begin with.Make sure you eat balanced, or get on a clean diet to help your body heal. And drink and drink and drink more water it can only help. My own little secret for some of these viral things is sambucus its elderberry syrup and if you can tolerate it coconut oil, put  it on toast and such. They help kill viruses in the body. If you didnt have a mouth ulcer i say add horseradish but might be bad with a mouth ulcer. Salt water mouth rinsing and gargle is useful as well. Your body needs you to feed it very healthy right now its has a lot of work its doing to help you recover. And oh boy do i understand having to go to one doctor after another. The world of specialists is grueling because each part has its own specialist. Its been my life the past few years and i think thats why i have panic attacks/anxiety disorder from being sick and get diagnoses, some no cure as yet but hopefully soon. Hang in there and know the body is like a machine and all it tries to do is get back to its natural state its just needs the nutrients to do it and you to stay calm so it can focus on healing and not be sidetracked by anxiety which lowers the immune system. Hang in there.

    Thank you for your replies and advice. I went back to the doctors today, who tried to reassure me rhat it wasnt throat cancer. She did say she didnt know what the white spot under my tongue was which didnt make me feel better 🙈

    I am trying to stay positive and counting down till i see the ENT doctor.
