I've been sick for over a year!?

Question

So here's my story...

about 16 months ago I lost my virginity. I actually had a homosexual experience to start things off. I really freaked out about everything after developing tonsillitis about 2 days after this. There were no fluids involved anywhere with the "experience". I had constant bouts with tonsillitis on and off for almost a year until I finally had my tonsils removed due to the development of sleep apnea and tonsil stones in July of this year. Since my first bout with tonsillitis, I've had a lymph node that has been noticeable in my neck. This has lasted from the first bout with tonsil issues, through my tonsil removal, etc. It's not big (maybe 1/2 - 1 CM in diameter).

About 2 months ago I took a trip to Scandinavia. When I returned I was fairly ill. I was sore, had an itchy throat, watery eyes, overall unwellness. Oh, and I have a small amount of tonsil tissue that was left over from my tonsillectomy which has gotten enflamed again, and has not gone down since.

I still have my lymph node there, and with this last little bit of fun, I developed some red spots on my throat that didn't hurt, just kind of itched. I went to the DR and he said it was most likely allergies (I've had them my whole life). Now, I've been feeling ill for about 2 months since I returned to the US. I've had some shortness of breath (very brief), mild headaches, and some general feelings of illness...tiredness, etc. I also have a place in my mouth that is now slightly raised. I've looked up a few things online and had thought of it being a saliva stone or something similar, but I've also discovered a ridge along the bottom of my mouth that seems to be firm and under the skin, almost like it's a hardened saliva gland or something. I have been tested for HIV and other STD's, and have come back negative for everything. I'm really starting to get worried it may be some for of cancer. I have an ENT appointment on the 20th. Can anyone give me some insight?

Also, I'm 24, fairly lazy lifestyle, but am not really overweight.

Answer 1

You need to have a more complete physical to see what is going on. Contact the doctor as soon as you can.

Answer 2

You can rest assure that the tonsillitis did not come from your sexual experience.
You really need to have your doctor do a complete physical as soon as possible. Since you are having trouble healing that is a sign of diabetes.
The swollen nodule should go down with a week's supply of steroids.
And did you tell you doctor that you went to Scandinavia? If not, you should because you could have contracted a virus or something there.

Answer 3

You need to tell your mom or dad what you have done. Ya they might get mad but they can help you. If you did tell them, and there not doing anything search on google to see what you can do. You need to see a docter. Good luck
