I have had difficulty with overcoming a strep throat infection that hospitalized me 3 weeks ago. I just finished my second round of antibiotics since the hospitalization and it looks like my tonsils which had a small grey, pocket of pus a week ago now has grown as has a white pocket/boil below the grey one on this tonsil. Tonight I looked into my throat to inspect this but instead of being freaked out by the tonsils, I suddenly could see my epiglottis sticking up into my throat. This explains why I have had times in the last few weeks where it feels like my throat was tight or closing there. This epiglottis sighting freaked me out when I saw it. Should I be worried - is it serious? Is this getting to the point where I need to go back to the primary doctor yet again or should I be referred to an ENT by now? Does this sound dangerous - the visible epiglottis that never was there before? I am just getting sick of going to doctors whose treatments are not working. Can the primary doctor really do anything to help me at this point?
