Bit worried....
I started to get a sore throat last week (just as I went back to work, great timing). It hung around all week and has been really sore, paracetamol and ibuprofen taken together gave some relief but not much.
Anyway, on Saturday I started coughing up a bit of blood (sorry, probably TMI) so I went to see the Dr this morning. He has said it's probably just the throat infection, but he's referred me for a chest x-ray and to the ENT section at the hospital to rule out throat cancer. I'm sure it's nothing, but it's still a bit scary. And I can't even taken the ibuprofen any more as it can make you bleed more, so I'm constant pain
Going for the chest x-ray tomorrow at lunchtime, pretty sure it's not anything on my chest as that's not really where I'm coughing up from. He's going to speak to ENT to see how quickly they can get me referred.
Not the best start to the new year

They've said there's nothing else they can give me for the pain unfortunately, which is a bummer as it doesn't seem to be getting any better at all. I actually can't speak at all today, which my colleagues are probably loving!
