So I had tonsillitis about a month ago. I have been having issues with my tonsils on and off. Just recently my throat started to hurt and on my left side of my neck when I swallow and stuff I feel like there is a lump in the left side of my throat. I recently looked in the back of my throat and saw some raised red bumps. Not open sores just puffy bumps. I went to the doctor and she said it could possibly be my allergies and lympth nodes swelling. I don't get blood work drawn for three weeks. I'm really concerned about my neck. Anyone know what it could possibly be?
