Suffering with sore throat
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi everyone.
looking for a bit of reassurance. since end of march beginning of april I have had a sore throat and one tonsil slightly bigger than the other.
I never had the test but the doctors are pretty sure i had it back then where I suffered breathlessness / tiredness and a slight sore throat.
however since then every week I have a sore throat but doesn't hurt to swallow.
my tongue also feels a little bigger than it should and my neck feels like I have pressure on it.
I've had blood and swabs done all come back fine.
I have an ent appointment next week..
wondering if anyone else is or has experienced anything like this.
I'm 28 female. non smoker and dont drink much.

Hi Tara
I am on week 7+ of what I suspect has been CV19. A sore throat with some redness and one tonsil slightly visible has been with me the entire time. Even the odd days when my throat isn't sore it still looks the same.
Mine started with soreness in shoulders then tight sore chest and very dry airway and mouth. Was able to shift some catarrh after a week or so but with hard work. Got spells of breathlessness and palpitations throughout. Have had the odd good day this month, the most recent being Fri past until yesterday, thought I was doing well then got sore chest and airway last night just before bed, feels like its burning again 😦
You are definitely not alone, have you had any good days?

hi thankyou for your reply.
I have had good few days here and there.
unfortunately I have been on google and started scaring myself.
anxiety is very high at the moment and all I want to do is sleep.
it's so hard because its affecting my throat and neck all day every day it's on my mind.
when you swallow doesn't hurt. mine does sometimes but mostly not.
really hoping your doesn't last as long as mine has so far.

I agree the anxiety is overwhelming, I don't think I've ever been so scared of anything and I had Lyme disease 6 years ago, which is frightening and a very lonely illness, at least we have this forum and can worry together!
I have had a bit of what you are describing too, like a tightness in the throat. It doesn't hurt when I swallow but there is just a constant stinging that subsides occasionally. It will be interesting to hear what ENT say about it. (I'm 47, female and don't smoke or drink)
I hope you get some good days soon and start to get better, it's a long road for most people on here. The ones who are recovering now are at 14 weeks or so. Good luck to you.
