For two weeks I have had a hoarse voice, lump sensation in the back of my throat, consistent ear aches with a head ache. I have been sick other than nausau once una while with no fever. Last week I got checked out for strep because I have a white patch in the left upper part of the back of my throat. Both the strep test and culture came back negative. I am veryconcerned that this might be something more serious than a viral or bacterial infection. Also my glands have been sensative and the right side of my neck is noticeably swollen but doesn't hurt. What's your ideas and your suggestions.
