:cry: im new here so I will be quick I have a sore throat on the left side constanly and when I look in the mirror the back of my throat looks more swollen on the left side when I say arrrr!!! I had my tonsils out when I was 5yrs old so I think its probably not that, even though I have a tonsil tag on that side. I have also got white spots on the back of my throat as well not many only about 4 or 5 they look like whiteheads. But I also have a on/off blocked nose on that side as well with aoccasional ear pain and what feels like pain under the chin. Please could any one shed any light on what they think because im thinking worse case scenerio here :cry: . But to menstion yes I do smoke aswell if anything more at the moment because im constanly worring about whats wrong and the docs arent much either. :x :? :?
