First Time 😁
Basically the flair: is this a tonsil stone? There isn’t normally blood on it, only when I poke around at it.
Starting 3-4 days ago, I thought I had a sore throat. I happened to look in the mirror yesterday morning to see this. I got a chunk of it off, but there’s more still there that feels kind of like when my wisdom teeth were coming in. When I poke at it, the blood seems to come from the middle? I haven’t been able to get it out, even using the usual methods talked about (water syringe, cotton swabs, salt water). If I haven’t mentioned yet, it hurts. It doesn’t taste bad, and no one has mentioned bad breath to me yet.
In addition, I have a swollen lymph node on my jaw, and have been getting ear aches corresponding to the side of the tonsil stone. The lymph node happened a week before the sore throat, so I’m not sure if they’re related. Just thought I might throw that in as I know it can be sometimes related to tonsillitis.
Thank you for reading. Mostly I am just annoyed, and am trying to get an appointment with my family doctor (who never picks up the phone), but I appreciate anything anyone has to say.
