Lumps at back of throat near tonsils, enlarged lymph nodes in neck, stomach ache


    
Asked by kl (Female; 16; Shingles in December 09, past knee surgery ) on Sat 19, Jun 2010 04:31am

I noticed a few months ago that I had a white lump, almost like a white rock, at the back of my throat on the left side just in front of my tonsil. Over time it changed into a group of little lumps, and onto my right side too, and they have been like that now for a couple of months. I then saw that lymph nodes in my neck became enlarged. I saw a nurse at my local health centre who said my throat was slightly red, but it was nothing to worry about and to come back if they became white and full of pus - which they didn't. I've now started getting dull stomach aches, which some days are in both the morning and evening, and other days for the whole day. I don't know if it is related, but I have just been having a few weeks of important exams and it could be due the stress/worry of that. I'm quite a paranoid person anyway so this has worried me, especially after googling "lymphoma symptoms" which I know I shouldn't have. I am going to see a doctor but wondered wether you could help.

Hello,
Your symptoms do not sound like lymphoma to me, but I think you should see a doctor for a physical examination.
All the best, and God Bless!
