Hole In Tonsil, No White Spots, Painful, Cold. Causes?
Hole in Tonsil, no white spots, painful. Causes?
•
My throat has been hurting for about 2 weeks. The first week I figured I was getting sick and waited for the cold, which finally hit about 8 days after my throat started hurting. Now the cold is on its way out, but I've been looking at my throat more closely since it never stopped hurting. Now there appears to be a HOLE in my left tonsil. I'm not sure how long it's been there. There are no white spots,. The tissue even looks healthy, it just looks like something sliced my tonsil open and It doesn't look infected in any way, but it hurts a little. What could have caused this? I'm panicking and paranoid about everything from swallowing glass . I'm a woman in my late 20's. I plan to go to the doctor as soon as possible, but that may be a couple more days, plus I don't have insurance. Can anyone enlighten me?
Btw, I've never had anything like that before. Thank you for any help you can offer!
